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
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is associated with adverse psychological outcomes, but evidence on post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) among clinical nurses remains limited. This study examined the association between IPV exposure and PTSS among clinical nurses in Guangdong Province, China, and assessed sequential indirect associations involving psychological resilience and emotional exhaustion. Data were collected from 438 clinical nurses recruited from 5 tertiary-level general hospitals in Guangdong Province, China, using a general information questionnaire, the Short Form of the Revised Conflict Tactics Scales, the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, the Emotional Exhaustion Scale, and the post-traumatic stress disorder checklist for DSM-5 Checklist for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition. Analyses included independent-sample t tests, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlations, multiple linear regression, and path analysis. Mean scores for PTSS, IPV exposure, psychological resilience, and emotional exhaustion were 29.41 ± 16.21, 17.28 ± 8.70, 25.28 ± 6.16, and 21.95 ± 10.06, respectively. IPV exposure was positively correlated with PTSS (r = 0.740, P < .001) and emotional exhaustion (r = 0.776, P < .001), and negatively correlated with psychological resilience (r = -0.733, P < .001). Psychological resilience was negatively correlated with PTSS (r = -0.767, P < .001) and emotional exhaustion (r = -0.803, P < .001), while emotional exhaustion was positively correlated with PTSS (r = 0.764, P < .001). Marital status, years of work experience, weekly night shift frequency, IPV exposure, psychological resilience, and emotional exhaustion were significantly associated with PTSS (P < .05). Path analysis showed significant direct and indirect associations between IPV exposure and PTSS. The total indirect association estimate was 0.868, accounting for 62.9% of the total association, and the sequential indirect association estimate was 0.187, accounting for 13.6%. Greater IPV exposure was associated with greater PTSS severity among clinical nurses, with significant indirect associations involving lower psychological resilience and greater emotional exhaustion. Nursing administrators should consider these factors when developing psychological support strategies for nurses exposed to IPV.
