Occupational Fatigue and Associated Factors among Saudi Nurses Working 8-Hour Shifts at Public Hospitals.
Article in SAGE open nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Introduction: Shift work and demanding work schedules contribute to occupational fatigue, negatively affecting patient safety and nurses' well-being, consequently placing nurses and patients at risk for injury and adverse health outcomes. For preventing fatigue and minimizing its negative consequences, information about its characteristics and associated factors is required. Objectives: This study aimed to assess occupational fatigue "acute fatigue, chronic fatigue, and inter-shift recovery" among Saudi nurses working 8-h shifts. Further, we explored factors associated with fatigue from nurses' perspectives. Methods: We conducted a mixed-method study with a convenience sample of Saudi nurses ( Results: The results showed that Saudi nurses rated themselves moderately fatigued with working 8-h shifts. The inter-shift recovery subscale showed a negative correlation with chronic fatigue and acute fatigue ( Conclusion: Occupational fatigue is a multidimensional issue, and nurses and nurse managers are challenged with reducing its prevalence and negative impact on nurses and patients. Our quantitative and qualitative findings suggest the need for a comprehensive approach to fatigue management and mitigation, including organizational support, creative workforce planning, flexible work schedules, and psychosocial support. Fatigue reduction and prevention policies and educational programs are vital strategies to improve nurses' well-being and inter-shift recovery.
