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
Emotional intelligence may be relevant to nurses' communication, emotional regulation, teamwork and job performance. Evidence on individual emotional intelligence dimensions among nurses in Ghana remains limited. This study examined the associations between self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship management and nurses' job performance at Cape Coast Teaching Hospital, Ghana. A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted among nurses at Cape Coast Teaching Hospital. A simple random sample of 267 eligible nurses was selected, of whom 219 completed the questionnaire (82.0% response rate). Emotional intelligence was measured using an adapted instrument based on Goleman's Emotional Competency Framework, while job performance was assessed using the Employee Job Performance Scale. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted using principal axis factoring. Factorability was assessed using the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure and Bartlett's test of sphericity, and internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha. Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted. All four emotional intelligence dimensions were positively correlated with job performance. In Model 1, self-awareness (β = 0.289, p < 0.001) and relationship management (β = 0.265, p = 0.001) were positively associated with job performance, while self-management (β = 0.099, p = 0.213) and social awareness (β = -0.026, p = 0.770) were not independently associated. The model explained 26.5% of the variance in job performance (R
