Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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/
objectivesThis study aims to identify the factors associated with patient safety for nurses working in comprehensive nursing care service wards, based on the Structure-Process-Outcome model. As comprehensive nursing care service wards expanded in South Korea, the number of older and more severely ill inpatients increased, raising the demand for nursing care. In these wards, nurses play a crucial role in ensuring patient safety. Therefore, a thorough identification of the factors associated with patient safety, based on theoretical frameworks, is necessary.
methodsA cross-sectional design was used. Data were collected from 379 nurses working in one general hospital and four tertiary hospitals in South Korea between March and April 2022. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and path analysis using SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 28.0.
resultsMissed nursing care (β = -0.152, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.276 to -0.039) and nursing work environment (β = 0.150, 95% CI: 0.017 to 0.298) showed a direct association with patient safety. Compassion competence (β = 0.040, 95% CI: 0.009 to 0.092) and nursing work environment (β = 0.027, 95% CI: 0.006 to 0.069) were indirectly associated with patient safety through missed nursing care. The variables accounted for 18.7% of the explanatory power for patient safety.
conclusionsMissed nursing care was the factor most strongly associated with patient safety. Therefore, organizational efforts to foster a positive nursing work environment and implement strategies to enhance nurses' compassion competence may further contribute to patient safety.
