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
Background: Occupational burnout has an important impact on the physical and mental health of nurses, stability of the nursing team, and patient safety. As significant contributors to the effective operation of medical and health institutions, clinical nurses experience high occupational burnout because of the comprehensive effects of many factors, such as family and work pressures. Therefore, it is necessary to fully understand the factors associated with nurses' occupational burnout and their interrelationships, to support the development of targeted interventions to reduce occupational burnout among clinical nurses. Objective: To explore the relationship between work-family conflict, career calling, and occupational burnout among nurses. In addition, we studied whether career calling plays a mediating role between work-family conflict and occupational burnout. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 1,145 nurses. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, Work-Family Behavioral Role Conflict Scale, Career Calling Scale, and Maslach Burnout Inventory. Structural equation models were used to build the model. A STROBE checklist was used to report the results. Results: Nurses' occupational burnout was positively related to work-family conflict but negatively correlated with career calling. Meanwhile, career calling mediates the relationship between work-family conflict and occupational burnout. Conclusion: Nurses' career calling plays a mediating role in the relationship between work-family conflict and occupational burnout. The findings of this study can provide essential information to nursing managers to formulate targeted strategies to reduce occupational burnout among nurses.
