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
backgroundUnderstanding factors influencing caring behavior and compassion competence is crucial for delivering compassionate nursing care. Recent research suggests that self-compassion significantly affects both caring behavior and compassion competence. PURPOSE: The study aims to investigate the moderating effect of self-compassion on pediatric nurses' caring behavior and compassion competence in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
methodsThis study employed a nonexperimental quantitative design with a descriptive cross-sectional approach, involving 202 pediatric nurses. Data were gathered through a four-part structured self-administered questionnaire, which included demographic information, a compassion competence scale, a caring behavior inventory (16-item version), and a self-compassion scale.
resultsThe majority of participants were female (97%) and aged 31-40 years (45.5%), with 6-10 years of experience (38.6%). Self-compassion scores averaged 3.48 (SD = 0.52), compassion competence averaged 4.06 (SD = 0.59), and caring behavior averaged 86.33 (SD = 10.31). A moderate positive correlation was found between self-compassion and compassion competence (r = 0.285, p < 0.001), a weak positive correlation was found between self-compassion and caring behavior (r = 0.183, p = 0.009), and a moderate positive correlation was found between compassion competence and caring behavior (r = 0.397, p < 0.001).
conclusionThis study reveals that pediatric registered nurses exhibit high levels of compassion, competence, and caring behavior. However, self-compassion does not significantly influence the relationship between these two factors. The findings offer a framework for further exploration of the influences on caring behavior and compassion competence among pediatric nurses, aiding in the development of policies and interventions to enhance pediatric patient care.
