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: Rationing of nursing care (RONC) represents a significant challenge for healthcare systems, particularly during pandemics. Effective management of RONC requires thorough examination and identification of the contributing factors within crisis situations. This study aimed to investigate the predictors and causes of implicit RONC amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in Iran. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2022, involving 200 nurses selected via stratified random sampling from COVID-19-designated hospitals in Kashan city. Data were collected using the Persian version of the Perceived Implicit Rationing of Nursing Care (P-PIRNCA) Questionnaire, the MISSCARE survey, and a questionnaire detailing potential predictors of implicit rationing. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22, employing one-way ANOVA, Independent Results: The mean score for the RONC was 36.02 ± 19.79 (95% CI: 33.28-38.77). Interest in the nursing profession, second job, number of children, and monthly income were reported to be significant in the rationing model ( Conclusion: The RONC was not high at the peak of the pandemic. Selecting nurses from among those interested in the profession, those without a second job, and those with more children, as well as paying attention to professional relationships, can lead to adjustments in the rationing of care during the difficult conditions of the pandemic crisis.
