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
Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the life experiences of Indonesian nurses living and working in KSA. Design: This qualitative study used a descriptive phenomenological qualitative design based on Colaizzi's method. The study included 20 Indonesian nurses who had lived and worked in KSA for a minimum of 1 year, and were recruited from hospitals. Data collection was conducted over a 1-month period in January 2024. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in appropriate settings and transcribed for analysis. Results: Four themes emerged: motivation for overseas employment; cross-cultural challenges; differences in nursing practices and professional standards; and benefits of living and working abroad. Among these themes, cross-cultural challenges, particularly in terms of communication, were perceived as complex issues by both patients and coworkers. Conclusion: The results of this study highlight the need for additional support for Indonesian nurses living in KSA, particularly regarding communication challenges. In addition, these findings have implications for workforce policies in both KSA and Indonesia, particularly regarding the preparation, support, and retention of migrant nurses.
