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
Objective: Emotional intelligence plays an essential role in working nurses towards communication, decision-making on critical issues in high-stress environments, and collaborating with colleagues. Higher emotional intelligence nurses provide safe and high-quality care towards patient safety. This study was designed to be implemented on the premises of Jazan at King Fahad Hospital to examine the emotional intelligence in working nurses and how they deal with the patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 132 individuals were recruited among working nurses based on the recommended sample size formula. Data were collected using the self-administered questionnaire from all the participated individuals after signing the consent form. This study was carried out between August 2024 and September 2024. Three scales, such as demographic data, the emotional intelligence questionnaire, and Patient Safety Scales, were used to measure the study variables with the help of a five-point Likert scale. Emotional intelligence levels were categorized as low, moderate, and high, while patient safety was assessed through adherence to safety practices. Results: The results of this study confirmed that emotional intelligence has a high mean value of 3.91 ± 0.57, and the Patient Safety Scale also showed 3.73 ± 0.48 levels. Correlation analysis confirmed the positive association between emotional intelligence and Patient Safety Scale ( Conclusion: This study validates that emotional intelligence is a significant determinant of patient safety among critical care nurses in Jazan. Nurses with high emotional intelligence are superior at handling stress, clear communication, and sounding clear in making clinical decisions, all of which contribute to safer patient care in high-stress environments. Health care organizations should focus on developing emotional intelligence through structured training programs, incorporate emotional competencies into nursing education, and tackle organizational obstacles that prevent the implementation of individual emotional skills to enhance system-level safety, as these measures can lead to improved patient outcomes and a more resilient healthcare workforce. These efforts aligned with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to enhance the improvement of the quality of healthcare and patient safety in the Kingdom.
