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
aimThis study investigates the influence of emotional-social intelligence on nursing students’ voice behaviors and satisfaction, with self-efficacy serving as a mediating factor.
backgroundNursing is inherently an emotionally and socially demanding profession that requires effective communication, emotional attunement, and proactive engagement. Emotional-social intelligence has been shown to significantly foster intrapersonal resources (e.g., emotion regulation, social confidence), strengthening interpersonal relationships, reducing stress, and improving professional satisfaction. SUBJECTS AND
methodsA descriptive correlational cross-sectional study was conducted among nursing students in the Faculty of Nursing, Zagazig University, Egypt. Four standardized questionnaires were used to examine nursing students’ emotional-social intelligence, voice behavior, satisfaction, and self-efficacy; 381 nursing students were surveyed. The study’s hypothetical model was examined using AMOS structural equation modeling (SEM).
resultsEmotional-social intelligence had a significant direct effect on self-efficacy, voice behavior, and satisfaction among the studied students. Similarly, self-efficacy partially mediates the link between emotional-social intelligence and students’ voice behavior. Likewise, self-efficacy partially mediates the link between emotional-social intelligence and students’ satisfaction.
conclusionsStudents with greater emotional-social intelligence are more assertive in expressing ideas, which enriches their satisfaction with learning and clinical capabilities. These results highlight the significance of nurturing emotional-social intelligence in nursing education to improve their positive communication and professional growth.
