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
aimThis study aims to investigate the relationship between cultural competence and sensitivity of nursing students and their brain drain attitudes.
designThis study was conducted using a cross-sectional and correlational research design.
methodsThis study was conducted at a university in Türkiye in January 2023. The sample of the study consisted of n = 352 nursing students. 'Student Introductory Information Form', 'Attitude Scale for Brain Drain' and 'Cultural Competence and Cultural Sensitivity Assessment Scale' were used as data collection tools. Data were analysed using Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis and Spearman correlation tests.
resultsIn this study, 67.9% of the students were planning to live abroad when they finish university. Male students, those living in big cities and provincial cities, and students who had lived abroad before had higher scores on the Attitude Scale Towards Brain Drain. The scores of the cultural competence and cultural sensitivity assessment scale were found to be higher in first and 4th-year students, students whose longest place of residence was big cities, students who thought of living in another country after graduating from university. There was a weak positive correlation between the Attitude Towards Brain Drain Scale Scores and Cultural Competence and Cultural Sensitivity Assessment Scale Total Scores.
conclusionsTo mitigate brain drain, educational institutions should integrate comprehensive cultural competence training into nursing curricula. Furthermore, policymakers should develop strategies that enhance professional satisfaction. REPORTING
