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 Change management has become an important tool for hospitals to continuously improve themselves in a competitive market. This questionnaire-based study aimed to compare the attitudes of 78 midwives before and after management changes in work schedules and performance-related pay between March and October 2022 at a women's and children's hospital in China. MATERIAL AND METHODS The survey utilizing a job involvement scale and a self-designed questionnaire was distributed through WeChat group chat for all midwives of the hospital. The hospital has 87 midwives. A total of 78 midwives participated in the questionnaire survey. RESULTS The midwives' score ranges of work initiative, work attitude, work value, work recognition, and work enthusiasm and focus before change management were 21-39, 19-37, 23-29, 12-18, and 12-20, respectively, but that after change management they were 22-39, 19-37, 23-30, 13-18, and 14-23, respectively. After change management, both of the P values for work attitude and work enthusiasm and focus were less than 0.05, 80.23% of the midwives were willing to work across the 2 campuses, and all surveyed midwives agreed on unified accounting of performance pay under the condition of working across the 2 campuses. Their views changed from "maintaining the status quo: taking the initiative - passive resistance" to "questioning" to "openness to change: acceptance". CONCLUSIONS The change management implemented within our department is feasible and the clinical risk is controllable. More attention was paid to the midwives' perceptions and humanized management was applied during change management, leading to a success of change.
