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: Oncology nurses caring for patients with gastric cancer are exposed to high-acuity workloads and sustained patient suffering, which may increase compassion fatigue. Prior research has largely examined average relationships across the full sample, which can obscure meaningful differences between nurses. This study aimed to identify latent profiles of compassion fatigue and examine the protective role of psychological resilience and the influence of work characteristics on profile membership. Methods: A cross-sectional sample of 678 nurses from tertiary hospitals who provided care for patients with gastric cancer was recruited. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was conducted using the three Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) dimensions: Compassion Satisfaction, Burnout, and Secondary Traumatic Stress. Psychological resilience was assessed using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). Multinomial logistic regression was applied to determine predictors of profile membership. Results: Three profiles were identified: Thriving (22.0%; high compassion satisfaction with low burnout and secondary traumatic stress), At-risk (47.9%; moderate levels across dimensions), and Distressed (30.1%; low compassion satisfaction with high burnout and secondary traumatic stress). Turnover intention differed substantially across profiles: 80.4% of nurses in the Distressed profile reported high turnover intention compared with 6.0% in the Thriving profile. Psychological resilience was independently associated with a greater likelihood of Thriving membership relative to Distressed membership (OR = 1.18, Conclusion: Nearly one-third of nurses caring for patients with gastric cancer experienced severe compassion fatigue accompanied by high turnover intention. Psychological resilience appears protective, and modifiable work characteristics-particularly night-shift burden and access to psychological training-are meaningfully associated with risk status.
