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
introductionAs healthcare systems become diverse, tensions between Islamic modesty values and nursing guidelines remain underexplored. Requirements related to dress codes, cross-gender interaction, and physical contact may conflict with Islamic principles, while clear institutional guidance is often lacking.
methodsA scoping review was conducted to map empirical and nonempirical literature examining conflicts between Islamic modesty and clinical nursing practice. Descriptive and content analysis were used to identify areas of conflict, challenges, navigational responses, and proposed solutions.
resultsRecurring conflicts involved professional dress requirements, cross-gender care, gender preference, physical contact, and limited gender-sensitive environments. Without clear guidance, Muslim healthcare providers and students relied on individual coping strategies rather than consistent organizational support. DISCUSSION: Addressing these conflicts requires culturally responsive policies, flexible practice arrangements, and religious sensitivity training to support inclusive and ethically sustainable care across diverse healthcare settings.
