Article in BMC nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundIn Turkey, two major earthquakes occurred on February 6, 2023 with an interval of approximately 9 h. Continuity of health services is important in any disaster. It is known that health workers, especially nurses, who constitute a large group, play an important role in disasters.
methodsThis is a qualitative study using phenomenological methodology. Data were collected with identification form and semi-structured interview forms through face-to-face between March and April 2023 with 11 nurses. The Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research guidelines were followed. The MAXQDA program was used for data analysis.
resultsThe study was grouped under four themes and 16 sub-themes: feelings while giving care, differences in care, difficulties experienced in care and suggestions to facilitate care.
conclusionThis study revealed that nurses experienced empathy, altruism, and professional satisfaction while providing patient care after the 2023 Pazarcık Earthquake, alongside significant challenges such as communication barriers and organizational shortcomings. The findings highlight the need for clear disaster care algorithms and specialized teams, and may inform hospital disaster planning and strategies to better support nurses in future crises. CLINICAL TRIALS: Not applicable.
