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
Introduction: Clinical nurse specialists have crucial roles in team development, patient safety, and work quality of nurses. Breast specialist nurses in China are instrumental in managing breast disorders and providing care for patients experiencing complications. However, despite the growing demand for breast specialty care, there are no unified national recertification standards for breast specialist nurses in China, and relevant research in this area remains scarce. This study aimed to develop an evaluation index system for breast specialist nurse recertification and establish a scientific and objective basis for standardizing such systems. Methods: Based on the theory of post competency, literature analysis and a two-round Delphi method were used to prepare a recertification evaluation system for breast specialist nurses. Eighteen nursing experts from 14 tertiary hospitals in Guangdong Province participated, selected based on predefined criteria (≥10 years of clinical experience, intermediate/advanced title, and bachelor's degree or above). Indicator weights at all levels were determined using the proportion allocation method. The mean importance score was ≥ 3.50, and the coefficient of variation (CV) was ≤ 0.25. Results: The authority coefficients for these rounds were 0.936 and 0.933, and the Kendall coefficients of concordance were 0.245 and 0.406, respectively ( Conclusion: The recertification evaluation index system developed here is comprehensive, scientifically robust, and practically applicable. It is a basis for nursing managers to assess the competency and recertification of breast specialist nurses in Guangdong Province, China, supporting the quality and safety of breast cancer care. Furthermore, it offers a reference for future recertification efforts beyond the regional context.
