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
backgroundOpen Book Management (OBM) is an innovative approach for empowering nurses in decision-making. It contrasts personal branding, which focuses on self-presentation for career advancement, with previous self-improvement techniques that emphasized self-change. OBM facilitates the sharing of knowledge and collective decision-making, enabling nurses to take ownership of their roles and enhance their professional visibility. Additionally, it emphasizes the leader's role in fostering an inclusive work contribution atmosphere.
aimTo explore the power behind open-book management and its impact on critical care nurses' work prosperity and personal branding. STUDY
designAn empirical quantitative study utilizing a cross-sectional descriptive correlational design was conducted in accordance with the STROBE checklist. Data were collected by three tools: the Open Book Management Questionnaire (OBMQ), Workplace Prosperity Scale (WPS) and Nurses' Personal Branding Scale (NPBS).
resultsThere was a strong, significant positive association between OBM, workplace prosperity, and personal branding (r = 0.786 and r = 0.767, p < 0.001) and workplace prosperity and personal branding showed a strong correlation (r = 0.857, p < 0.001).
conclusionOBM emerged as a significant predictor of both workplace prosperity and personal branding, indicating that transparent management practices can lead to improved self-presentation and enhanced organizational success. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Open Book Management (OBM) promotes transparency in organizational operations by sharing financial and operational information with staff. For critical care nurses, this transparency can facilitate better communication between management and frontline staff, enabling nurses to understand the broader goals and challenges of their healthcare institutions. As nurses become more involved in the financial and operational facets of healthcare, they simultaneously enhance their professional identity and personal brand.
