What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study aims to compare the differences in professional environment, job characteristics, and feelings of powerlessness between nurses and nurse aides (NAs) in residential long-term care institutions, and to analyze the predictors of powerlessness. This study employed a comparative and correlational design, utilizing convenience sampling. Participants were recruited from 24 residential long-term care institutions in central Taiwan between April 2023 and March 2024. The research tools included a Practice Environment Survey Scale, a Work Design Questionnaire, and a Powerlessness Scale. A total of 338 participants (156 nurses and 182 NAs) took part in this study. Both nurses and NAs reported moderate to low levels of powerlessness, with average scores of 42.18 and 37.07, respectively. However, nurses experienced more powerlessness than NAs (t = 3.046, p = 0.003). Hierarchical regression analysis indicated that professional environment (β = -0.381, p < 0.01) and job characteristics (β = -0.285, p = 0.005) were significant predictors of powerlessness among nurses, explaining 41.7% of the variance. In contrast, the only predictor of powerlessness for NAs was the professional environment (β = -0.695, p < 0.001), which explained 42.4% of the variance.
