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.

Abstract
Introduction: The boarding of patients with psychiatric illnesses in the Emergency Department (ED) has become a prevalent issue across the world, posing significant challenges for healthcare providers. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the perceived competency and attitude of emergency nurses toward the care of patients boarding with psychiatric illnesses. Methodology: This was a prospective cross-sectional research study used to recruit emergency nurses working in four selected facilities under the organization. The study utilized a validated questionnaire, the Opening Minds Scale for Health Care Providers (OMS-HC-15) and Behavioral Health Care Competency (BHCC) to collect the information from the participants through an online survey using a total enumerative sampling method. Frequency and percentage were used to find the demographic characteristics of the participants. ANOVA and t-tests were used to find out the association between the attitudes, competencies, and demographic profile of the participants. Results: Three hundred and ten completed responses from the participants were used for analysis. Most participants were in the 31 to 40 years age group (72.26%; Conclusion: The emerging data from the current study stated that the attitudes of ED nurses were predominantly positive; however, their perceived competency was falling below average. This highlights the need to improve their competency to strengthen the current practice, the quality of care, and the overall experiences of psychiatric patients in the ED.
