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
backgroundCivility is essential to ensuring the wellbeing of nurses and the delivery of quality patient care. Given that nurse leaders influence the behaviours and expectations of nurses in their teams within health and aged care settings, further insight is needed in understanding the practices of nurses holding leadership positions in creating civility. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of nurse leaders in promoting and maintaining civility in nursing care teams in Australian regional and rural health and aged care settings.
methodsUsing a constructivist grounded theory methodology, 11 regional and rural nurse leaders in Victoria, Australia, were individually interviewed. Interview transcripts, recordings and memos were analysed using reflexivity and constant comparison to inform the substantive theory.
findingsThe substantive theory titled ACTS Theory for Creating Civility in Nursing conceptualises the practices of nurse leaders in creating civility across four elements (acknowledge, communicate, teach and support). Acknowledging individual skills and personal circumstances, practising compassionate communication, role-modelling acceptable behaviours and providing support were core practices in fostering civility. DISCUSSION: Ongoing implementation and evaluation of precepting, mentoring, and professional accountability programmes aimed at improving nurse leaders' communication and leadership skills is needed to address this ongoing workforce issue.
