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
backgroundNurses in resource-limited settings like Jordan require strong leadership and clinical judgment. Job rotation is believed to improve adaptability and self-efficacy, but its effect on clinical decision-making is unclear. PURPOSE: This study aimed to examine whether job rotation mediates the relationship between clinical leadership skills and clinical decision-making among nurses.
methodsA cross-sectional correlational study was conducted among 395 registered nurses employed in Jordanian governmental hospitals. Participants were recruited using a proportional random sampling technique. Data were collected using validated questionnaires assessing clinical leadership skills, job rotation, and clinical decision-making. Statistical analyses, including ANOVA and regression analysis, were performed to examine relationships among the study variables. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was additionally used to assess mediation effects.
findingsThe results showed significant differences between clinical decision-making and gender, marital status, and educational level. Clinical leadership significantly predicted decision-making (β = 0.433, 95% CI [0.331, 0.535], t = 8.226, p < 0.001). In contrast, job rotation indicated no significant direct effect (β = 0.000, 95% CI [-0.052, 0.051], t = -0.010, p = 0.992) and did not mediate the relationship between leadership and decision-making (β = 0.008, 95% CI [-0.041, 0.057], t = 0.325, p = 0.745).
conclusionLeadership skills were significantly associated with nurses' clinical decision-making, and leadership development may play a more substantial role in clinical decision-making than job rotation within this sample. IMPLICATION FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Job rotation implementation has to be intentional, by putting real effort into structured training, mentoring, and embedding workplace learning into daily routines, which improves decision-making quality, increases professional confidence, and ultimately enhances patient outcomes.
