Managerial approaches for maintaining low levels of sick leave: A qualitative study.
Article in Journal of nursing management, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
aimThe aim of this study was to identify first-line managers' approaches for maintaining low levels of sick leave among health care employees.
introductionOne challenge in health care is the high level of sick leave among employees. High work demands and conflicting pressures characterize the work situation of both employees and first-line managers, with potential negative effects on work-related health.
methodFirst-line managers at units with low and/or decreasing sick leave were interviewed. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data.
resultsThe managers took a holistic approach in meeting their employees' broader needs, and they were balancing high organisational demands through insubordination. To keep sick leave rate low, they created possibilities for the employees to influence their own working life through a present, visible and trustful leadership.
conclusionManagers responsible for units with low sick leave seemed to utilize a holistic approach with focus on their employees and prioritized needs of their employees before organisational demands from top management. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: First-line managers in health care can have impact on sick leave among their employees and create good working conditions, despite pressure from their superiors.
