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
backgroundThe transition from nursing education to professional practice requires nurse interns to consolidate clinical competence, develop professional identity, and establish future expectations within their work environments.
aimThis study examined the associations among perceived work environment, professional identity, and dispositional hope among nurse interns and assessed whether perceived work environment and professional identity remained independently associated with dispositional hope after adjustment for demographic and internship-related characteristics.
methodsAn analytical cross-sectional correlational study was conducted among 1450 nurse interns at Benha University Hospitals, Egypt, using a total population sampling approach. Data were collected using the Perceived Work Environment Questionnaire, Professional Identity Scale for Nursing Students, and Adult Hope Scale. Descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and multiple linear regression were performed.
resultsThe mean scores were 138.42 ± 18.92 for perceived work environment, 57.84 ± 8.96 for professional identity, and 47.20 ± 5.68 for dispositional hope. Perceived work environment showed significant positive correlations with professional identity (r = 0.58,
conclusionsPerceived work environment and professional identity were independently associated with dispositional hope among nurse interns. These findings underscore the relevance of structured supervision, constructive feedback, mentoring, and professional identity development within nursing education and internship programs.
