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
objectiveThe present research was conducted to determine the empathic skills and self-compassion of midwifery students entering clinical practice.
methodsThis study was designed as descriptive and cross-sectional. This study was performed with all midwifery students studying in the midwifery department of a public university and entering clinical practice between January 15 and March 15, 2024. The aim of this study was to reach the whole population (n=420) and 280 people constituted the sample (66.7%). The study data were collected face-to-face using the "Personal Information Form," "Empathic Tendency Scale," and "Self-Compassion Scale."
resultsOf the midwifery students participating in the study, 56.1% stated that they entered their department willingly, and 71.1% indicated that they were satisfied with the department they studied in. The mean score of midwifery students on the Empathic Tendency Scale was 142.25±18.74, and their mean score on the Self-Compassion Scale was 76.65±14.76. A statistically significant difference was identified between students' grade level and their empathic skills and self-compassion levels (p<0.05). Second-year students scored significantly higher in empathy (p<0.001), suggesting curricular influences. Despite moderate self-compassion, high self-criticism subscale scores may reflect cultural norms. Findings highlight the need for empathy-supportive training, particularly in later clinical years.
conclusionThis study found that midwifery students entering clinical practice had moderate empathic skills and self-compassion and concluded that education affected empathic skills and self-compassion.
