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
backgroundSchizophrenia is one of the most stigmatized mental disorder; yet, research on how it is perceived within the field of general nursing is limited. Since nurses play a crucial role in the care of individuals with schizophrenia, their attitudes toward this disorder can significantly impact treatment and well-being of those affected.
aimThe present study examines the degree of schizophrenia-related stigmatization among nurses (
methodData were collected using an online questionnaire.
resultsGroup differences were observed. Nursing professionals showed higher stigma toward perceived individuals living with schizophrenia than did members of the broader community. Specifically, nurses perceived them to be less competent and warmer but not more dangerous (stereotypes), felt less admiration, empathy, and warmer attitudes, and more anxiety toward them (negative affective responses), and reported lower intentions to engage in prosocial behavior and interact (hostile behavioral intentions). The results held the same when controlling for basic socio-demographic variables.
conclusionsThese findings highlight critical stigma-related differences between general nurses and the broader community, providing a novel comprehensive comparative examination across cognitive, emotional, and behavioral domains. This approach highlights key targets, such as emotional responses and prosocial intentions, that should be prioritized in future anti-stigma interventions within nursing.
