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
backgroundStress is one of the factors that damage the mental health of nurses, part of which can likely be offset by individual personality characteristics and coping styles, and the degree of stress is related to some differences in marriage, night shift, department and so on. The purpose of this study is to investigate the situation and influencing factors of stress-load among nurses and midwives in obstetrics and gynaecology.
methodsFrom February 2023 to March 2023, a cross-sectional study was carried out involving 540 obstetric and gynaecological nurses and midwives from 21 hospitals in Guangdong Province, using the Chinese Big Five Personality Inventory (CBF-PI-B), Trait Coping Style Questionnaire (TCSQ), and Chinese version of Stress Load Scale (SOS). A bootstrap method was used to analyse the mediating effect of positive coping and negative coping between personality traits and stress load.
resultsThe survey achieved a response rate of 92.31% and a total effective rate of 78.89%. The stress load of obstetric and gynaecologic nurses and midwives was moderate, with a total score of 65.30 ± 17.27 points. The most common personality characteristics of the nurses and midwives was conscientiousness. There were significant positive correlations between neuroticism, negative coping, event load, and individual vulnerability (p < 0.01). Conscientiousness, openness, and positive coping were significantly negatively correlated with negative coping and individual vulnerability (p < 0.01). 45.4% of the difference can be explained by positive coping (R
conclusionAt present, the stress load of obstetrics and gynaecological nurses and midwives is moderately high. Both positive coping and negative coping plays a mediating effect between neuroticism, conscientiousness, openness, agreeableness and stress load of nurses.
