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.

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
Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) Jewish women who enter the nursing profession face a unique set of challenges. While nursing aligns with core religious values, such as compassion, caregiving, and the preservation of life, it may also conflict with communal expectations concerning exposure to secular environments, gender interactions, and strict observance of the Sabbath and religious holidays. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of Haredi nurses in choosing and practicing nursing as a profession. A qualitative methodology was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews with 21 Haredi nurses in Israel. Thematic analysis identified three central themes reflecting both personal and social dimensions of their experiences: (1) personal conviction and negotiation, (2) societal resistance, and (3) the pursuit of legitimacy. This study enhances the growing literature on integrating minority healthcare professionals by revealing how Haredi women develop and express their professional identities, navigate communal expectations, and act as cultural brokers in Israel's healthcare system.
