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
introductionIn multicultural societies, nurses, like the rest of the population, carry prejudices toward the immigrant population. These biases determine their practice and the treatment of these patients, leading to inequalities in healthcare. Aim of the present study is to investigate the discriminatory behaviors of the nursing staff toward people of different ethnic origins as well as the factors that affect and are related to these behaviors. MATERIAL AND
methodsA cross-sectional study design was applied in this study. Data were collected with a two-part self-reported questionnaire, the first part contained social, professional, and demographic information, and the second part was a validated instrument that measures nursing staff's attitudes and views against discrimination. Data were analyzed with SPSS v.22.
resultsFrom the total of 2034 nurses and nursing assistants, 85.4% were female, 32.8% 40-49 years old, and 99% of them were of Greek nationality. Age, gender, educational and marital status among other factors found to be associated with nurses' attitudes and beliefs toward discrimination.
conclusionVarious social, professional, and demographic factors are associated with nurses' attitudes and discrimination beliefs. Attitudes of health professionals, especially nurses, toward people of different ethnic origins, as well as the predictors of these attitudes of these factors should be assessed because they can contribute to the quality of the provided nursing care.
