Article in Nursing open, 2025. 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
aimHealth professionals' attitudes towards suicidal patients may affect the quality of treatment and care provided. This study was conducted to investigate the knowledge and attitudes of physicians and nurses towards patients with suicidal ideation and a history of suicide attempts.
designA cross-sectional research design was used to conduct this study.
methodsA total of 421 physicians and nurses were recruited. Data analyses were performed using SPSS software version 23. This study used a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Stigma of Suicide Scale-Short Form and the Literacy of Suicide Scale questionnaires.
resultsThis study included 421 participants, comprising 55 general physicians (GPs; 13.1%), 92 specialist physicians (21.9%) and 274 nurses (65%). Nurses had an average score of 4.65 ± 1.78 for suicide knowledge and 46.59 ± 7.43 for suicide stigma. No significant relationship was observed between suicide knowledge and suicide stigma among nurses (r = 0.02). However, a significant negative correlation was identified between suicide knowledge and suicide stigma among physicians (r = -0.25).
conclusionThese findings suggest that increasing suicide literacy may help reduce stigma among physicians, highlighting the need for targeted educational interventions in clinical settings. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Patients and the public were not directly involved in the design, conduct or reporting of this study. However, the findings highlight the importance of improving healthcare professionals' knowledge and attitudes towards suicidal ideation and behaviour, which could have a direct impact on patient care.
