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: In China, expanding nursing roles to include nurse prescribing has been proposed as a potential strategy to improve the efficiency of pediatric healthcare. Its implementation requires a clear understanding of how pediatric nurses and physicians view medication safety, professional boundaries, and implementation conditions in child health. Methods: A convergent mixed-methods study was conducted among pediatric healthcare professionals from four tertiary hospitals in China. Quantitative data were collected using a validated questionnaire assessing attitudes, perceived benefits, risk perception, collaborative trust, training needs, and support for prescribing scope. Data were analyzed using comparative statistics and logistic regression. Qualitative responses to open-ended questions were examined thematically, and the quantitative and qualitative findings were integrated in a joint display matrix. Results: Nurses showed stronger support for nurse prescribing than physicians (4.32 ± 0.67 vs. 2.92 ± 0.75, Conclusions: Pediatric nurses and physicians differed in their overall attitudes, but their shared acceptance of low-risk prescribing suggests a feasible implementation pathway. The findings support a phased model of pediatric nurse prescribing built on interdisciplinary collaboration, structured training, and appropriate regulatory safeguards.
