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
backgroundNursing students encounter numerous stress-inducing situations throughout both their academic and professional lives. Emotional intelligence, in this context, is considered the golden key in effectively managing such stressors. This qualitative action research study aims to explore in depth the transformation caused by stress management training on the basis of Bar-On’s mixed model of emotional intelligence in nursing students.
methodsThis research was conducted in three stages: preaction, action, and postaction. The study included 25 nursing students who participated in a stress management training program consisting of 14 modules based on Bar-On’s mixed model of emotional intelligence. Upon completion of the training, in-depth interviews were conducted with the students. The data were analyzed via thematic analysis.
resultsUnder the main-theme of Intrapersonal Skills, the subthemes identified were deepening self-awareness, constructing self-worth, recognizing and accepting personal boundaries, decisiveness, and self-direction. Under interpersonal skills, the subthemes included emotional awareness in relationships, maturation of communication styles, and setting boundaries and filtering in relationships. For adaptability, participation in a shared life culture, gaining flexibility in adaptation, and awareness of adapting to differences were highlighted. For stress management, the subthemes were mindful intervention, strategic coping strategies, help-seeking tendencies, tolerance, and impulse awareness. Finally, under general mood, emotional balance, the development of optimism, and an orientation toward inner peace emerged.
conclusionThe findings demonstrate that structured stress management training based on Bar-On’s model produces functional outcomes that support all the components of the model. Stress management should be integrated into a fundamental, compulsory course in nursing education. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable. This research is a qualitative study.
