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
Objective: This study aimed to develop and validate a psychological support program incorporating psychological factors that promote PTG, in order to prevent burnout and enhancing resilience in future healthcare workers in preparation for infectious disease outbreaks such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The program was developed with consideration to the characteristics of nurses. Since nurses, particularly, suffered from severe burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic, the efficacy in this study was tested in nursing trainees. Method: Based on a review of related literature, we developed a program consisting of eight sessions. The content of the program includes physical and emotional recognition, finding meaning in stressful events, understanding and reflection on posttraumatic growth (PTG), promoting happiness and finding value, and inspiring hope. To test the effects of the program, participants were divided into control and intervention groups. PTG, resilience, burnout, emotion processing, deliberate rumination, and mental wellbeing were measured pre-intervention, post-intervention, and at later follow-up. Results: Using a repeated-measures analysis of variance, the treatment group showed increased PTG, resilience, mental wellbeing, and emotion processing after the intervention compared with the control group, and this increase was maintained in the follow-up. Although the effect on burnout was not statistically significant, there was a trend for relatively decreased burnout in the treatment group. Conclusion: These results demonstrate the potential effectiveness of psychological program in promoting healing and growth to support healthcare workers' mental health. By fostering PTG and resilience, the program offers practical benefits for preventing future stress and burnout in healthcare settings.
