Latent profiles of moral sensitivity and its associated factors among operating room nurses.

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
Objective: To identify latent profiles of moral sensitivity among operating room nurses and to examine factors influencing these profiles. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from May to July 2025. A total of 579 operating room nurses from 18 tertiary hospitals in Jiangsu Province, China, were recruited using convenience sampling. Data were collected using the Chinese version of the Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire-Revised Version (MSQ-R-CV), the Nurse Work Environment Perception Questionnaire, and the Role Clarity Scale. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was performed using Mplus 8.0. Binary logistic regression was conducted using SPSS 26.0 to identify independently associated factors of latent profile membership. Results: Two distinct latent profiles were identified: a low moral sensitivity group (42.8%) and a high moral sensitivity group (57.2%). Binary logistic regression revealed that gender (male vs. female: OR = 44.27, 95% CI: 5.34-366.93, Conclusion: The identification of a substantial low-sensitivity subgroup underscores the urgent need for targeted ethics training, particularly for younger and less experienced female nurses. Future targeted interventions focusing on role clarification, particularly for younger, less experienced, and female nurses, may effectively enhance moral sensitivity in this population.
