Impact of 12-hr shifts in general hospitals: Study conducted in two intensive care units.
Article in Nursing open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
aimTo evaluate the impact of 12-hr shifts on health status, working conditions and satisfaction among nurses and healthcare auxiliaries in medical and surgical intensive care units in a general hospital.
designThis study was a descriptive and prospective questionnaire study of personnel involved in the organization of 12-hr shifts.
methodsThe EVREST questionnaire was used, with the addition of two questions on respondents' health status and five questions on their job satisfaction. The study consisted of a first phase immediately before work was organized in 12-hr shifts and a second within 7-9 months of application of this organization.
resultsPositive effects were found among day nurses including decreased periods of pressure during the working day and improved work-life balance. Conversely, night nurses, who are not in favour of 12-hr shifts, reported dissatisfaction caused by a deterioration both in working conditions and in work-life balance.
