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
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has stimulated interest in potential policy solutions to improve working conditions in hospitals and nursing homes. Policy action in the pandemic recovery period must be informed by pre-pandemic conditions. Purpose: To describe registered nurses' (RNs') working conditions, job outcomes, and measures of patient safety and care quality in hospitals and nursing homes just before the pandemic. Methods: Cross-sectional study using descriptive statistics to analyze survey data from RNs in New York and Illinois collected December 2019 through February 2020. Results: A total of 33,462 RNs were included in the final analysis. Before the pandemic, more than 40% of RNs reported high burnout, one in four were dissatisfied with their job, and one in five planned to leave their employer within 1 year. Among nursing home RNs, one in three planned to leave their employer. RNs reported poor working conditions characterized by not having enough staff (56%), administrators who did not listen/respond to RNs' concerns (42%), frequently missed nursing care (ranging from 8% to 34% depending on the nursing task in question), work that was interrupted or delayed by insufficient staff (88%), and performing non-nursing tasks (82%). Most RNs (68%) rated care quality at their workplace as less than excellent, and 41% gave their hospital an unfavorable patient safety rating. Conclusion: Hospitals and nursing homes were understaffed before the COVID-19 pandemic, and many RNs were dissatisfied with their employers' contribution to the widespread observed shortage of nursing care during the pandemic. Policy interventions to address understaffing include the implementation of safe nurse staffing standards and passage of the Nurse Licensure Compact to permit RNs to move expeditiously to locales with the greatest needs.
