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/
objectivesCulturally competent nursing care is essential in multicultural settings, but organizational conditions may influence its delivery. This study examined the association between the nursing practice environment and culturally competent behaviors among surgical nurses in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and whether this association remained significant after adjustment.
methodsThis multicenter cross-sectional study included 422 surgical nurses recruited by convenience sampling from January to March 2026. Participants completed the 31-item Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI) and the 14-item Cultural Competence Behaviors (CCB) subscale of the Cultural Competence Assessment. Analyses included descriptive statistics, Cronbach's alpha, Spearman's rank correlation, and an adjusted general linear model with heteroscedasticity-consistent type 3 (HC3)-robust standard errors.
resultsThe mean PES-NWI score was 3.04 ± 0.46; nursing foundations for quality of care had the highest domain score (3.16 ± 0.43), whereas staffing and resource adequacy had the lowest (2.87 ± 0.63). Among the 404 participants with valid CCB scores, the mean CCB score was 4.48 ± 1.53. The PES-NWI composite score showed a moderate positive association with CCB (ρ = 0.303,
conclusionsThe nursing practice environment had a moderate positive unadjusted association with CCB, and this association remained statistically significant after adjustment. Longitudinal studies are needed to clarify the temporal direction of this relationship.
