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
Prehospital emergency healthcare professionals, who frequently face situations requiring rapid decision-making, interventions with limited resources, and ethical dilemmas related to patient care, are at high risk of experiencing moral distress. This study aimed to conduct the Turkish cultural adaptation, validity, and reliability testing of the Moral Distress Scale in order to evaluate the moral distress experienced by prehospital emergency healthcare workers. Within the scope of the study, the 20-item, five-factor Moral Distress Scale was translated and culturally adapted into Turkish. The construct validity of the scale was evaluated using exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Data were collected from 215 prehospital emergency healthcare professionals. Factor loadings ranged from 0.442 to 0.801, and item-total correlations were above 0.30. In the exploratory factor analysis, items 4 and 5 from the "Providing Care" subdimension were loaded onto the "Conflict" subdimension, while item 6 was loaded onto the "Communication" subdimension. The confirmatory factor analysis results confirmed the five-factor, the 20-item structure of the scale, and the model fit indices were found to be acceptable (χ
