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
purposeWe aimed to explore the ethical challenges encountered by nurses when providing family-centered care.
methodsThematic analysis was conducted using data from 82 semi-structured interviews with practicing nurses across four states in the United States.
findingsTheme 1: Navigating professional and ethical boundaries in nursing care that complement or complicate family advocacy; Theme 2: Experiencing family conflicts and disagreements; Theme 3: Feeling helpless at times from ethical, legal, and familial expectations and moral constraints.
conclusionParticipants showed commitment to involving families in patient care. Yet, we also observed tension in balancing respect for families' wishes with patient autonomy, which led to moral distress and ethical uncertainty in their professional boundaries. While family-centered care recognizes families' contributions to patient care and health care decisions, ongoing efforts are needed to address the ethical challenges that arise in its implementation in practice.
