Voices from Hiding: Assessing the Impact of the 2021 Coup on Nursing in Myanmar.
Article in International nursing review, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 explores the initial impact of the 2021 Military coup on Myanmar's nursing profession, clinical practice and clinical education.
backgroundMyanmar is a country historically riven by conflict; however, between 2010 and 2021, there was democratic reform and partial peace, prompting improvements in nursing practice and health outcomes. This study examines the impact of the 2021 coup, which effectively halted this progress, on Myanmar's nursing. It contributes to the limited literature exploring the effects of civil unrest and governmental coups on nursing, particularly in closed societies such as Myanmar.
methodsWe present a qualitative synthesis of semi-structured interviews, undertaken with seventeen nurses in Myanmar via secure video link.
resultsNurses describe the challenges to nursing practice before the coup, the relative progress that Myanmar's nurses made in the short years of quasi-civilian government and, following the coup, the significant deterioration in working locations, conditions and personal safety for nurses who refused to work in Junta-controlled hospitals. DISCUSSION: The coup has damaged all aspects of nursing in Myanmar. These results document a rapid unravelling of progress, accentuated by long-standing underlying weaknesses in systems and leadership, with additional threats to personal safety. This trend has been previously reported in other conflicts but rarely directly from nurses and never from Myanmar. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: The coup has been catastrophic for nursing in Myanmar. Participants describe widespread health system collapse, deliberate targeting by the junta and a need for international support.
