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
backgroundThe nursing profession rests on an ethical foundation based on respect for the right to health of individuals and the protection of human dignity under all circumstances. Human dignity is at the center of nursing care, recognizing that each individual is unique, valuable, and worthy of respect. This ethical principle becomes even more critical in health care services where cultural differences are felt intensely. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between nurses' cultural competence and cultural humility levels, as well as their perception and understanding of human dignity.
methodsThe study was conducted as a descriptive-correlational research. This study was conducted with 318 nurses working in a public hospital in Gaziantep, Türkiye. The data were collected using the "Health Workers Cultural Competence Scale", "Cultural Humility Scale", and "Perception and Understanding of Human Dignity in Nursing Scale". Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, and Spearman correlation tests were used to analyze the data.
resultsThe mean age of the nurses was 28.74 ± 5.29 years, and 71.4% were female. Most participants had a bachelor's degree (72.0%), and 51.9% were single. Nurses had high levels of awareness and sensitivity (28.16 ± 3.66), resource ownership and registration (17.00 ± 4.88), attitude (37.16 ± 10.11), patient-centered communication (11.29 ± 3.01), interaction and practice orientation (24.28 ± 3.20), self-assessment (37.41 ± 6.96), cultural humility (77.53 ± 13.05), and perception and understanding of human dignity (201.07 ± 25.61). Positive but generally weak relationships were found between cultural competence, cultural humility, and the perception of human dignity (r: 0.22-0.34; p < 0.05).
conclusionIt was observed that nurses with high levels of cultural competence and humility more strongly adopted a care approach that respects human dignity. In this context, it is recommended that nursing education content be developed to include both affective and behavioral dimensions.
