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
This study aims to determine the relationship between the moral intelligence of intensive care nurses and their attitudes towards medical errors. The study was designed as a descriptive, cross-sectional study. The study sample consisted of 158 nurses working in intensive care units at a university hospital. Data were collected using a personal information form and two scales: the Yakut Moral Intelligence Scale and the Attitude towards Medical Errors Scale. Descriptive statistics, an independent samples t-test, a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and a Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyse the data. The results showed that nurses' attitudes towards medical errors were moderately high (mean score: 3.72 ± 0.70), and their moral intelligence scores were moderate (mean score: 79.53 ± 11.47). No significant differences were found according to gender or educational level (p > .05). A strong positive significant correlation was found between moral intelligence and attitudes towards medical errors (r = .850, p < .01). The findings suggest that higher moral intelligence is associated with more positive attitudes toward medical errors and may contribute to strengthening patient safety culture.
