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
backgroundPsychosocial care is a core component of nursing practice aimed at meeting the holistic needs of patients. In this context, nurses' emotional expression skills play a critical role in delivering effective psychosocial care.
aimThe aim of this study was to examine the relationship between nurses' psychosocial care competencies and their emotional expression skills, and to explore the subdimensions of this relationship.
methodThis descriptive and correlational cross-sectional study was conducted with 227 nurses working at a training and research hospital in Istanbul. Data were collected using a Socio-Demographic Information Form, the Psychosocial Care Competency Self-Assessment Scale (PCCSS), and the Emotional Expression Skills Scale (EESS). Data were collected between October and December 2023. Analyses were performed using SPSS 22.0, with Pearson correlation and multiple regression techniques.
resultsThe findings revealed statistically significant positive correlations between nurses' psychosocial care competencies and their emotional expression skills. Specifically, the proximity and positive emotion expression subdimensions showed moderate correlations with psychosocial care subscales. However, multiple regression analysis did not identify any of the psychosocial care subdimensions as significant predictors of emotional expression skills. This suggests the possible influence of environmental or personal mediators such as institutional support, burnout, or job satisfaction.
conclusionEnhancing nurses' emotional expression skills may contribute to the development of their psychosocial care competencies. It is recommended to integrate emotional intelligence-based content into nursing education curricula and implement emotional awareness programs in clinical practice. Such efforts may improve both professional satisfaction among nurses and the overall quality of patient care. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
