1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Workplace gender discrimination against female nurses is a critical issue requiring evidence-based investigation and documentation. This study aimed to validate the Persian version of the Scale to Measure the Perception of Workplace Gender Discrimination for Female Nurses and ensure its psychometric robustness for clinical and research applications. Employing a cross-sectional methodological design, the study recruited 535 female nurses in Iran through convenience sampling. The Persian translation of the scale was developed in accordance with World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Validity and reliability were assessed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and internal consistency measures. The EFA and CFA confirmed a five-factor structure with 29 items, accounting for 51.029% of the total variance. Model fit was excellent, as indicated by CFI, GFI, TLI, RMSEA, and SRMR values. The scale exhibited acceptable internal consistency, with Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's ω coefficients of 0.905 and 0.916, respectively. These findings establish the Persian version of the scale as a valid and reliable instrument, addressing a significant gap in the assessment of workplace gender discrimination for female nurses.
