1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Decline in compassionate care is potentially linked to moral distress and fostering different aspects of organizational citizenship behavior can reduce the outcome of moral distress. This study aimed to determine the mediating role of organizational citizenship behavior in the relationship between compassionate care and moral distress among nurses. For this purpose, a correlational study design using structural equation modeling was employed. Between December 2023 and March 2024, 300 nurses were selected through convenience sampling from hospitals in Fars Province, southern Iran. Data were collected using the Organizational Citizenship Behavior Questionnaire, the Compassionate Care Questionnaire for Nurses, and the Moral Distress Questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 22 and Smart-PLS software. Our findings showed that compassionate care, combined with the mediating role of organizational citizenship behavior, significantly impacted moral distress (t = 2.442,
