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
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the association between leadership styles and professional ethics and moral courage among perioperative nurses in southern Iran. Background: Operating rooms are high-pressure environments where leadership behaviors and ethical decision-making are critical for safe surgical care. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 251 perioperative nurses in Shiraz hospitals (June-August 2024). Standardized instruments were used: the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ), the Cadozier Professional Ethics Questionnaire, and the Sekerka Moral Courage Scale. Data were analyzed using Spearman's correlation and robust multiple regression (bootstrapping) due to non-normal data distribution. Results: Active leadership styles demonstrated strong positive correlations with both professional ethics ( Conclusion: Active leadership is significantly associated with enhanced professional ethics and moral courage in perioperative nurses. Fostering transformational and transactional leadership is therefore recommended to improve the ethical climate in high-pressure clinical settings.
