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
backgroundA racially and ethnically diverse nursing workforce can only enhance the profession's ability to serve the widely diverse U.S. population. Embracing differences allows nurses to develop a broader understanding of each other and of their patients. Yet many nurses of color face unique challenges that can adversely impact their well-being and their longevity in this profession. PURPOSE: The purpose of this descriptive cross-sectional study was to examine levels of burnout, intent to leave the profession, and student debt burden among nurses who self-identified as Asian, Black or African American, or Hispanic, and compare these to the levels reported by their White counterparts.
methodsA survey of U.S. hospital nurses took place from January through March 2023, measuring levels of burnout, intent to leave the profession, and student debt burden. Differences regarding self-identified race and ethnicity were then examined using regression analyses.
resultsAsian participants had significantly higher burnout scores and were more likely to report intent to leave the profession than their White counterparts. Hispanic participants were also more likely to report intent to leave. Black and African American participants reported significantly higher student debt burdens than participants from other groups.
conclusionsThis study's findings attest to racial and ethnic disparities regarding nurse burnout, intent to leave the profession, and student debt burden. They raise concerns about the long-term retention of Asian and Hispanic nurses and about barriers to entering the profession among Black and African American nurses. Failure to effectively address racial and ethnic disparities in the workplace jeopardizes workforce diversity. It's our hope that the study findings will spark a larger conversation about how the experiences of nurses of color differ from those of their White counterparts and how disparities can be effectively redressed.
