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
Introduction: Intimate partner violence (IPV) represents a complex social and health problem that requires multidisciplinary responses. Healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, play a key role in the identification and management of IPV cases. However, limited training and potential cognitive biases may affect professional assessment and intervention. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 202 nursing professionals in Spain. Perceived competence in IPV management was evaluated using the validated Intimate Partner Violence Competency Scale for Nurses (ECVPE), which assesses four dimensions: intervention and referral, detection and assessment of abuse, documentation and record-keeping, and psychosocial support. Descriptive statistics, Student's Results: The lowest levels of perceived competence were observed in the intervention and referral dimension (M = 2.45), while the highest scores were found in psychosocial support (M = 3.36). Professional experience was the only variable significantly associated with perceived competence in the dimensions of detection and documentation of abuse. Additionally, most participants conceptualized IPV primarily as violence against women in heterosexual relationships, indicating the presence of perceptual biases that may influence professional assessment. Conclusions: Nursing professionals reported heterogeneous levels of perceived competence in IPV management, with notable gaps in intervention and referral processes. The results highlight the need for training strategies that strengthen professional competencies while addressing implicit biases in the interpretation of violence within intimate relationships.
