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
backgroundWe aimed to explore whether the dysfunctional pandemic grief of nursing professionals who experienced a patient's death may be related with their suicidal ideation and examine whether their interpersonal problems and dysfunctional self-focus mediate this association.
methodsAn anonymous online survey was conducted on November 16-18, 2023 among nurses in a tertiary hospital who witnessed people's death. Their psychological states were assessed using the Pandemic Grief Scale (PGS) for healthcare workers, Dysfunctional Self-focus Attributes Scale (DSAS), Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire (INQ), and Depressive Symptom Inventory-Suicidality Subscale (DSI-SS). Linear regression analysis was conducted to explore the expecting variables for the DSI-SS. Mediation analysis was performed to examine the mediating effects of self-focus and interpersonal problems between grief reaction and suicidal ideation.
resultsThe PGS (β = 0.18,
conclusionDysfunctional grief experienced by nurses following the loss of patients during the pandemic exacerbated suicidal ideation by fostering a greater focus on negative outcomes and heightened feelings of being a burden. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to address these specific cognitive and emotional vulnerabilities to mitigate the risk of suicidal ideation.
