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
IntroductionMost studies of nursing interns in Saudi Arabia have focused on students' perspectives, often neglecting the experiences of supervisors, who play a critical role in guiding and supporting interns. To address this gap, the present study explored the motivations, challenges, and strategies related to nursing student supervision in hospital settings.MethodsThis qualitative descriptive study utilized in-depth, semi-structured interviews with ten supervisors working in Taif Health Cluster hospitals in Saudi Arabia to explore the experiences of nursing student supervisors during internships. Thematic analysis was employed to identify core themes and insights.ResultsThree overarching themes were identified: motivations for supervisory roles, factors influencing performance, and strategies to improve supervisory quality. Through the lens of self-determination theory, these findings suggest that supporting supervisors' autonomy, competence, and relatedness can strengthen motivation and improve the quality of internship supervision.ConclusionStrengthening university-hospital collaboration, revising training plans, and ensuring sufficient facilities and incentives are critical to sustaining supervisors' motivation and effectiveness. Addressing these challenges can enhance supervision quality and prepare competent, confident, and committed nursing graduates.
