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
backgroundNurses, as the largest professional group in the healthcare industry, often face different psychological problems, among which depressive symptoms is the most common. This study used the latent class analysis (LCA) to classify nurses' depressive symptoms, analyzing the differences in their second victim experience and support, psychological empowerment, and psychological detachment, providing reference for promoting nurses' mental health.
methodsThis study was a cross-sectional study, using cluster sampling to select nurses from tertiary hospitals in Liaoning Province from January to May 2024. Self-report questionnaires through Wenjuanxing were distributed, and 1719 nurses effectively completed the survey. The questionnaires included the Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item, the Chinese version of the Second Victim Experience and Support Tool, the Psychological Empowerment Scale, and the Recovery Experience Questionnaire. Mplus 8.3 software was used to conduct LCA, and SPSS 26.0 software was used for chi-square tests and analysis of variance.
resultsDepressive symptoms was classified into three types: "Non depressive group" (40.5%), "Potential depressive symptoms group" (47.6%), and "Severe depressive symptoms group" (11.9%). Nurses with higher levels of physiological distress and career difficulties were more likely to develop potential depressive symptoms (OR = 1.120, 95%CI = 1.057-1.185; OR = 1.070, 95%CI = 1.034-1.107) or severe depressive symptoms (OR = 1.312, 95%CI = 1.187-1.451; OR = 1.171, 95%CI = 1.102-1.244). Nurses with higher levels of management support were less likely to develop severe depressive symptoms (OR = 0.930, 95%CI = 0.898-0.964). Nurses with higher levels of psychological empowerment were less likely to develop potential depressive symptoms (OR = 0.976, 95%CI = 0.963-0.989) or severe depressive symptoms (OR = 0.960, 95%CI = 0.941-0.979).
conclusionThe cross-sectional design cannot determine the causal relationship between the support system and the relief of depressive symptoms. This study still revealed significant individual differences in depressive symptoms among nurses and the current status of experiences and support for secondary victims. Nursing managers need to reduce the risk of depression symptoms by multidimensional regulation of nurses' psychological emotions.
