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
Background: The quality and efficiency of operating room nurses' work are directly related to patient safety, surgical success rates, and the overall medical quality of the hospital. In the context of a global shortage of nursing human resources, enhancing the job performance of operating room nurses is critically important. Team psychological safety, occupational coping efficacy, and job satisfaction are important factors affecting the job performance of operating room nurses. However, limited research has examined the interrelationships among these factors specifically within this specialized group. This study aims to explore the impact of team psychological safety on the job performance of operating room nurses, with a particular focus on the potential mediating roles of occupational coping efficacy and job satisfaction. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among operating room nurses from six general hospitals in southern China. A total of 308 questionnaires were distributed, and 303 valid responses were included in the final analysis (response rate: 98.38%). Data were collected using the Team Psychological Safety Climate Scale, Occupational Coping Self-Efficacy Scale, Job Satisfaction Scale, and Nurse Job Performance Scale. Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analyses were performed using SPSS 26.0, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was conducted using AMOS 25.0. Mediation effects were tested using the Bootstrap method. Results: Operating room nurses reported a high level of job performance (mean = 4.12, SD = 0.49). Team psychological safety was positively associated with occupational coping self-efficacy, job satisfaction, and job performance ( Conclusion: Team psychological safety significantly enhances the job performance of operating room nurses, both directly and indirectly through occupational coping self-efficacy and job satisfaction. These findings suggest that improving the psychological safety climate within teams may be an effective strategy to boost nursing performance in high-stakes clinical environments.
