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
Background: Nurses working in emergency departments encounter a wide range of professional challenges stemming from the inherently complex, unpredictable, and high-intensity nature of emergency care. These challenges exert a considerable influence on their clinical performance. Among the most critical factors, workload and work interruptions are thought to negatively affect both the occurrence of missed nursing care and the ethical climate within the emergency departments. In light of these considerations, we sought to examine the relationship between workload and missed nursing care, with particular attention to the mediating roles of ethical climate and work interruptions among emergency department registered nurses. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted among 700 emergency registered nurses in southern Fars Province, Iran. Data were gathered using a demographic questionnaire, the Missed Nursing Care Questionnaire, the Hospital Ethical Climate Survey, the Nursing Work Interruption Scale, and the NASA Task Load Index. Structural equation modeling was used for analysis. Results: The participants' mean age and mean work experience were 35.26 years (SD=6.80), and 8.71 years (SD=5.38), respectively. The pearson correlation analysis revealed positive associations between workload and missed nursing care was positive and statistically significant ( Conclusion: We have revealed a significant positive relationship between workload, work interruptions, and missed nursing care among emergency registered nurses in Iran. We suggest that fostering a positive ethical climate within the emergency department may play a crucial role in reducing missed nursing care and improving overall care quality. Additionally, given that excessive workload and frequent interruptions were associated with both ethical climate and care delivery, it may be essential for nursing leadership to implement systematic and proactive strategies to address these stressors.
