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
Research on professional identity and its associated factors among nursing interns remains limited, particularly in the Palestinian context. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationship between self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, and professional identity among Palestinian intern nursing students in the West Bank. A cross-sectional design was employed. A convenience sample of 201 intern nursing students was recruited between April and May 2025. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that included the New General Self-Efficacy Scale (NGSE), the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS), and the Professional Identity Scale for Nursing Students (PISNS). The results found that participants reported low levels of self-efficacy (M = 14.65, SD = 3.84), emotional intelligence (M = 2.43, SD = 0.56), and professional identity (M = 31.14, SD = 7.49). Professional identity was positively correlated with self-efficacy (r = 0.410, p < 0.001) and emotional intelligence (r = 0.477, p < 0.01). Both variables may contribute to professional identity. In conclusion, self-efficacy and emotional intelligence were positively associated with professional identity. However, causal inferences cannot be established due to the cross-sectional design. Longitudinal and experimental studies are needed before recommending targeted intervention programs.
