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
objectivesto assess the levels of moral courage among Brazilian undergraduate nursing students and examine the ethical and academic factors that influence it.
methodscross-sectional study conducted with 130 nursing students who answered an online questionnaire containing sociodemographic information, variables related to the ethical and academic context, and the Brazilian version of the Nurses' Moral Courage Scale Descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, Spearman's correlation, and multiple linear regression were performed.
resultsthe average moral courage score was 61.58 (±9.55), positively correlated with satisfaction with the program, academic performance, relationship with educators, and especially confidence in one's own ethical principles. The strongest predictors were confidence in ethical principles (β = 0.455) and academic performance (β = 0.225), explaining 26.9% of the variance.
conclusionsfindings suggest that fostering students' ethical confidence and academic success may strengthen their moral courage, with implications for nursing education and professional development.
