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
backgroundConflict is a very common phenomenon in the intensive care unit (ICU). Nonetheless, the aim of conflict-related strategies is not to eliminate conflicts but to effectively manage them. The aim of this study was to develop a model for conflict management (CM) in the ICU. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis qualitative study was conducted in 2024 by using Corbin and Strauss's grounded theory design. Data were collected via 32 semi-structured interviews with 18 ICU nurses, observational notes, field notes, and memo writing. Participants were purposefully selected from hospitals affiliated to Zanjan University of Medical Sciences, Zanjan, Iran. Corbin and Strauss's method was used to analyze the data. Then, Walker and Avant's method was used to develop a prescriptive CM model.
resultsParticipants' main concern was a vicious relational cycle, and their strategy for its management was striving to build CM-based relational bridges. The outcome of this strategy was doubtfulness over compromise or silence. The compromise-based relationship model for CM was developed with three main components, namely the management of the situation, awareness of CM strategies, and development of communication skills.
conclusionThe CM process depends on the sociocultural characteristics of nurses and healthcare organizations. The establishment of appropriate relationships is the key prerequisite to CM and depends on the development of nurses' professional skills and strong organizational support. Therefore, health policymakers should consider developing communication and CM skills in nurses.
