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
This is a theoretical study that adopts Nancy Fraser's conception of care as social reproduction labor as a critique of the scientific self-discourse that defines care as "love" in nursing. We argue that care as social reproduction labor-purposeful labor aimed at meeting the social needs of the labor force in capitalist societies-reveals the weaknesses of the notion of "love" in nursing by exposing the material, intersectional, capitalist, and sociohistorical conditions that sustain it, thereby supporting counter-hegemonic practices. First, we reflect on the contradiction between care and capitalism. Subsequently, we undertake an immanent critique of the nursing self-discourse of love through the negative trihedron of care. Finally, we recalculate alternatives for a critical pathway regarding care work in the profession. We propose incorporating a gender perspective and dialogue with feminist epistemology into undergraduate and graduate curricula, with repercussions for scientific production and the political practice of nursing. The science we produce should problematize the social and gender contradictions within nursing, whose labor has been rigidly domesticated.
