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: Nurses demonstrate varying levels of self-directed learning competence, which is influenced by multiple individual and contextual factors. Identifying profiles with varying levels of self-directed learning is essential for providing targeted support and training. However, there is limited research exploring the potential profiles of self-directed learning competence among nurses. Objectives: This study aimed to identify distinct latent profiles of self-directed learning competence among nurses and analyze the influencing factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used. Nurses were recruited using a convenience sampling from four tertiary hospitals in Guangzhou, China, between August 2024 and February 2025. The Self-Directed Learning Competence Scale for Nurses was used to assess the self-directed learning Competence of nurses. Latent profile analysis was performed to identify different potential profiles. Pearson's chi-square test and multinomial logistic regression were used to explore the factors influencing self-directed learning competence. Results: A total of 740 nurses participated. Three latent profiles of self-directed learning competence were identified: low ( Conclusion: The study revealed diverse profiles of self-directed learning competence among nurses. Nursing managers should design differentiated strategies based on these profiles. Enhancing organizational support and stimulating learning motivation can help improve nurses' self-directed learning competence, thereby promoting their professional development and improving the overall quality of clinical nursing care.
