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
Background: Moral courage is increasingly recognized as crucial for medical professionalism. This study aimed to translate and validate the Moral Courage Scale for Physicians into Chinese, evaluate its psychometric properties, and explore its applicability within the Chinese medical context. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 425 licensed physicians across Mainland China was conducted between February and April 2025. Participants completed an online survey including demographic information and the Chinese version of MCSP. Data were analyzed using EFA, CFA, and Cronbach's alpha. Results: The Chinese MCSP demonstrated strong psychometric properties, including high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.935) and a clear single-factor structure explaining 65.94% of the variance. CFA supported good model fit (χ Conclusion: The validated Chinese MCSP is reliable and valid for assessing moral courage among Chinese physicians. It provides a robust tool for future research, medical education, and ethical training programs to enhance physician professionalism and patient care quality in China.
