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 frequently encounter stress in hospital settings due to high patient loads, emotional demands, and complex work environments. Effective coping strategies are crucial for maintaining mental health and job performance. This study aimed to assess the coping strategies adopted by nurses and to determine the associated factors with nurses' coping. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 400 hospital nurses to assess their coping strategies working at a tertiary care hospital in South India. Data were collected using BRIEF COPE inventory. Statistical analysis employed both descriptive and inferential methods to identify common coping mechanisms and assess associated factors with nurses' coping. Results Nurses reported a mean coping score of 61.6±12.6, with a higher use of approach coping (27.8±4.4) compared to avoidance coping (22.6±4.1). Significant associations were found between coping and sociodemographic variables (age, children, income, marital status) as well as professional factors (experience) (p < 0.05). Conclusion The study highlights nurses' reliance on approach coping strategies, influenced by sociodemographic and professional variables. Enhancing coping mechanisms through targeted interventions can improve job satisfaction, reduce stress, and enhance performance. Policymakers should implement supportive workplace policies, offer stress management programs, and promote work-life balance to ensure nurses' well-being and optimal healthcare delivery.
