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: Emergency department nurses work in environments with high stress and irregular shifts, which poses a high risk of work-family behavior role conflict (WFBRC). Conflicts have a negative impact on health, including psychological symptoms like anxiety and depression, along with physical symptoms like fatigue, and sleep disorders. The scores of different dimensions of WFBRC vary among different genders, and it is unknown whether there are differences in terms of the impact of different dimensions of WFBRC on health problems among nurses of different genders. Aim: To investigate the impact of WFBRC on the emergency department nurses' health outcomes by comparing different gender. Study design: Secondary analysis of a cross-sectional study. A stratified cluster group sampling method was employed to survey emergency department nurses from 30 hospitals in China. Data from the Work-Family Behavioral Role Conflict Scale (WFBRC-S), the Self-assessment scale of somatization symptoms (SSS-CN), and a self-administered sleep questionnaire (SSQ) were collected via electronic questionnaire format, and propensity score matching (PSM) was employed to balance sociodemographic factors, and then a linear regression analysis was performed to clarify gender differences. Results: A total of 1,540 emergency department nurses were surveyed, and dataset of 329 male and female emergency department nurse pairs were successfully generated. The study showed male emergency department nurses report higher family-to-work conflict (FWC) scores (25.93 ± 11.85) than females (23.36 ± 10.55). Work-to-family conflict (WFC) has a greater impact on the physical and psychological symptoms of female emergency department nurses ( Conclusion: Male emergency department nurses report higher FWC scores than females. WFC has a greater impact on the physical and psychological symptoms of female emergency department nurses than male nurses, while FWC shows the opposite pattern.
