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
backgroundInteracting with dying children is one of the most challenging aspects of nursing. Nurses' emotions and perceptions while caring for children at the end of their lives could influence the quality of care provided.
aimTo investigate emotions and perceptions of pediatric nurses regarding end-of-life care of children.
methods170 pediatric hospital nurses completed a self-reported questionnaire that consisted of questions to collect information related to sociodemographic characteristics as well as questions regarding previous training in the care of dying patients, previous experience in the care of these patients, and, more generally, previous experience with issues related to death.
results68.6% of participants reported being greatly affected by a child's death, mainly feeling sadness/distress (44%), compassion (22%), guilt (22%), and anger (22%). 44.7% felt unprepared to handle death. 73% wished the child would die in their absence, 62.8% believed family care should continue during grieving, while 70.6% felt nurses should join psychological support groups.
conclusionsIntegrating death and end-of-life care concepts into nursing education and practice could enhance the quality of end-of-life care for patients and families.
