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
backgroundDigital technology has brought many advantages to healthcare, but it has also given rise to a new form of worker abuse called "cyberbullying." This type of bullying can happen anytime and can greatly harm workers' mental health. Since "professional quality of life" is vital for how well the healthcare system functions and there is not much research on how this connects to online bullying in Iranian nursing, it is important to look closer at this relationship. This study aimed to assess the association between cyberbullying and professional quality of life among nurses in Southeast Iran. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis research utilized a descriptive cross-sectional design and recruited 335 nurses from Kerman University of Medical Sciences affiliated hospitals during 2025. Subjects were enrolled using a convenience sampling approach, and data were collected using the Menesini Cyberbullying Questionnaire and the Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL). Data were analyzed using SPSS Version 24 and descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, analysis of variance, spearman correlation coefficients, and stepwise multivariate regression, with a significance level of less than 0.05.
resultsData analysis indicated a low prevalence of cyberbullying among nurses. The mean scores of compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress were 34.71 ± 5.47, 16.03 ± 3.92, and 31.63 ± 4.90, respectively, all of which fell within the moderate range. Inferential findings indicated a significant positive correlation between cyberbullying and compassion fatigue, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress. Furthermore, cyberbullying emerged as a significant positive predictor across all three dimensions of professional quality of life in regression analyses. Additionally, key demographic and occupational factors including educational degree, shift type, employment status, gender, and marital status emerged as significant predictors within their respective models.
conclusionsThe findings indicated that cyberbullying was generally low and showed significant statistical associations with compassion fatigue in the analyses. Targeted interventions to enhance nurses' professional quality of life should be prioritized in healthcare settings. Furthermore, longitudinal and interventional studies are needed to better elucidate the temporal and causal relationships among these variables. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nurse administrators should adopt preventive strategies addressing workplace cyberbullying and compassion fatigue to enhance nurses' professional quality of life.
