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: In developing nations like Ethiopia, the number of people suffering from work-related stress is rising at an alarming rate, and it is becoming a public health concerns. Objectives: The goal of this study is to examine work-related stress and associated factors among health care professionals working in governmental and commercial health care facilities in Zone 1 of Ethiopia's Afar region in 2021. Methods: A comparative cross-sectional survey was done among 435 health professionals working at government and commercial health facilities in Zone 1, Afar, between April 1 and May 30, 2021. Self-administered structured questionnaires were employed to collect data, and multistage sampling was used to reach out to the study participants. To assess occupational stress, the Perceived Stress Scale was employed (PSS-10). To see if there is a difference in stress levels between government and private health practitioners, a chi-square test of independence was used. In multivariable logistic regression, a statistically significant relationship was found with a p-value of less than 0.05. Results: This study had a total of 435 participants, with a 96.7 percent response rate. Work-related stress was reported by 67.5 percent of government and 47.2 percent of private health professionals, respectively, and overall stress was reported by 57.5 percent. A chi-square test revealed a significant difference in stress between health professionals working in government and private facilities, X2 (1, N = 435) = 18.19, p < 0.001. A monthly income of 4001-5500 ETB, being a male professional, working 40 h per week, having support and assistance at work, job satisfaction, and uncomfortable room temperature were all linked to work-related stress. Conclusion: Health practitioners in government facilities experienced more stress than those in the private sector. Moreover, the level of work-related stress was high. Effective programs and protocols are needed to maintain a healthy working environment.
