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
Objectives: This study explored mid-level nurse managers' recognition behaviors and the perception of those behaviors by mid-level staff nurses. This information is needed for nurse manager training, and may improve nurses' work engagement and retention in the workforce. Methods: The exploratory qualitative study gathered data through semi-structured interviews with mid-level nurse managers and nurses selected through purposive sampling at a large acute care hospital in Aichi, Japan. Data were analyzed using Bryman's content analysis, and categories were generated both deductively and inductively. The Results: Five recognition behavior frameworks were identified from 91 (nurse managers) and 50 (staff nurses) codes: Conclusion: This study identified key recognition behaviors commonly understood by mid-level nurse managers and staff nurses. These shared behaviors could serve as foundational elements for developing educational programs that support mid-level nurse managers in practicing recognition behaviors more consciously and effectively. Such programs may contribute to fostering work engagement and improving retention of mid-level staff nurses.
