Article in Nursing open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimThis study aimed to examine the relationship between stress of conscience and compassion fatigue among nurses.
designThis study was a cross-sectional and descriptive study.
methodsThe research was cross-sectional and descriptive in nature and was conducted between 16 September 2022, and 15 November 2022. The population of the study consists of 120 nurses working in a private hospital in Istanbul. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS program. For sociodemographic variables, the t-test and ANOVA tests were used for normally distributed data, while the Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were applied for non-normally distributed data. Since the data showed a normal distribution, correlation analyses were conducted using the Pearson correlation coefficient, and regression analysis was utilized to assess the effect of the data in the study.
resultsA positive relationship was found between stress of conscience and compassion fatigue among nurses. Stress of conscience was also significantly associated with occupational burnout and secondary trauma.
conclusionThe study found a positive, moderate-level relationship between stress of conscience and compassion fatigue among nurses. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: The study's findings reveal a positive relationship between stress of conscience and compassion fatigue among nurses; therefore, nurses' workloads could be reduced and their work made more visible through the development of new strategies. NO PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Only nurses were included in this study. There was no patient involvement in this study. IMPACT: This study highlights the relationship between stress of conscience and compassion fatigue. Based on the research findings, supportive interventions can be implemented by taking into account the workload and emotional strain experienced by nurses. REPORTING
methodThis study was reported in accordance with the STROBE guidelines.
