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
backgroundAnkle-foot pain is a significant public health problem in nurse professionals and has great burdens to the individuals, healthcare systems, and community at large. However, there is limited evidence on the prevalence of ankle-foot pain and its associated factors among nurses in Ethiopia. Thus, the finding of this study will help to address health problems resulting from ankle-foot pain among nurses. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and associated factors of ankle-s-foot pain among nurse working in Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Tigray, Ethiopia. PATIENTS AND
methodsAn institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted on a total of 366 nurses, and a simple random sampling technique was used to recruit study participants. Data were collected by using a self-administered adapted standardized Nordic questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and a bivariate logistic regression model were done to identify factors associated with ankle-foot pain. Those variables with a
resultsThe prevalence of self-reported ankle-foot pain among nurses was 43.7% (95% CI=38.5-49.1). Older age (AOR=7.669, 95% CI=2.316-25.390), low shoe comfort (AOR=4.215, 95% CI=2.031-8.745), multiple foot conditions (AOR=6.102 95% CI=1.959-19.008), working night shifts (AOR=2.047, 95% CI=1.098-3.816), high physical demand (AOR=3.487, 95% CI=1.988-6.116), and nurses working in the intensive care unit (AOR=2.402, 95% CI=1.219-4.732) showed a statistically significant association with ankle-foot pain.
conclusionThis study indicated that the prevalence of ankle-foot pain is commonly reported among nurses working in Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital. Therefore, awareness and prevention of ankle and foot pain in nurses should be prioritized to reducing risk factors. Nurses should give attention to comfortable footwear, and further longitudinal research is recommended.
