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
introductionEffective communication in nursing practice is directly influencing job performance, patient outcomes, and teamwork. As the healthcare landscape becomes increasingly complex, understanding the specific communication competencies that contribute to professional development and interpersonal effectiveness is essential. PURPOSE: to investigate the relationship between communication competence and job performance among Jordanian nurses.
methodsA quantitative, cross-sectional study examined the link between communication competence and job performance among 113 registered nurses at Al-Bashir and Zarqa Governmental Hospitals. Data were collected during one month, using a self-administered questionnaire with two validated English-language scales: The Interpersonal Communication Competence Scale (ICCS, 30 items, α = 0.840) and the Six-Dimensional Scale of Nursing Performance (6-D Scale, 52 items, α = 0.903). Validity was confirmed through face and construct validation and reliability via Cronbach's alpha. SPSS v26 was used for analysis, including multiple linear regression and Kruskal-Wallis H tests to assess relationships and demographic differences.
resultsThe study confirmed a statistically significant and positive relationship between communication competence and job performance. In particular, the dimensions of empathy (B = 0.318, p < 0.01), self-disclosure (B = 0.349, p < 0.01), social relaxation (B = 0.362, p < 0.01), and environmental control (B = 0.328, p < 0.01) had the most substantial impact. Demographic variables (gender, educational level, years of experience, type of unit, and shift pattern) were found to significantly influence both communication competence and job performance.
conclusionsCommunication competence boosts nursing performance. Key skills like empathy and self-disclosure enhance relationships and growth. Tailored training and further research are recommended.
