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: During the COVID-19 pandemic, nurses faced increased psychological burdens due to prolonged exposure to patients, resulting in diminished quality of life (QOL). Sense of coherence (SOC) has been recognized as a crucial psychological resource that enhances coping capacity and promotes QOL. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the factors associated with QOL among nurses, particularly focusing on the role of SOC in mitigating job stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 798 staff nurses at a university hospital in Japan in December 2021 using four validated self-administered measures to assess SOC, job stress, social support, and QOL. Of the distributed questionnaires, 144 were returned (response rate: 18%). Multiple regression analyses were performed to explore factors predicting mental health-related QOL. Results: Among nurses who cared for COVID-19 patients, job stress (β = 0.311, Conclusions: Enhancing the manageability aspect of SOC may be a protective factor against psychological stress in nurses caring for COVID-19 patients. These findings highlight the importance of localized psychological support strategies－such as structured peer support, resilience training, and organizational transparency－to help nurses maintain mental well-being and QOL during and beyond pandemic conditions.
