Practice environment determinants of job satisfaction among midwives at healthcare facilities in Accra Metropolis: A multicentre study.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
introductionSustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3) has been one of the key goals for all partners of health globally. The health workforce especially midwives are among the principal skilled experts for achieving the goal. This is evidenced in the role they play in caring for pregnant women from the antenatal stages to the postpartum periods. However, very little has been reported about midwives' job satisfaction in Ghana. The study assessed the practice environment determinants of job satisfaction among registered midwives in Ghana. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional design was adopted to recruit midwives from public and quasi-government hospitals in Accra Metropolis. Validated scales-'Measure of Job Satisfaction' and 'Practice Environment Scale of Nursing Work Index' were used for data collection. Data was analysed through descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and linear regression.
resultsMidwives had a positive perception of their work environment. They were generally satisfied with their job but were dissatisfied with their salaries. Key determinants of midwives' job satisfaction included years of work as a midwife, managers' leadership and support, and adequacy of human and material resources.
conclusionImproving midwives' job satisfaction through enabling the work environment will go a long way to improve healthcare provision in the healthcare delivery points in helping achieve SDG 3.
