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
aimThis study aimed to assess the level of occupational grief among pediatric emergency and intensive care unit nurses and identify the factors influencing it.
designDescriptive cross-sectional study.
methodsConducted from March to May 2024, the study included 265 pediatric nurses from 13 tertiary hospitals in South China. Data were collected via electronic questionnaires, which encompassed sociodemographic questions, the Chinese Version of the Grief Traits and State Scale for Nurses (GSSNs), the Disenfranchised Grief Scale (DGS), the Chinese Version of the Professional Grief Support Scale for ICU Nurses (PGSS-INs), the Chinese Version of the Psychological Detachment Subscale, and the Chinese Version of the Psychological Resilience Scale. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression models were used.
resultsOccupational grief was found to be at a high level among the 265 pediatric nurses (mean score: 48.54 ± 9.458 and range: 17-85). Univariate analysis showed significant differences in grief scores based on age, religion, work experience, death education, end-of-life care education, and experienced the loss of a close friend or family member. Pearson correlation analysis found negative correlations between total occupational grief and psychological resilience, psychological detachment, competence in handling patient deaths, acceptance of patient deaths, and psychological preparedness for patient deaths and a positive correlation with disenfranchised grief. Multiple linear regression identified elderly age, lack of death education, personnel loss experience, higher disenfranchised grief, and lower acceptance of patient death as significant factors.
conclusionOccupational grief in pediatric emergency and ICU nurses directly impacts mental health. Nursing managers should prioritize mental health, provide systematic death education, and establish psychological support interventions.
