Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundJob satisfaction plays an important foundation in the health system to deliver high-quality care services to patients. Job satisfaction describes the inside feeling of workers about their jobs whether they like it or not. Job satisfaction of health practitioners is considered an essential factor that affects their efficiency, well-being, and mental health.
aimThis research study is part of an integrated research aiming to understand the determinants of a revised Workforce Planning Strategy in Saudi Arabia, in close relevance to the demand and supply side in Saudi Arabia.
resultsThis study showed that males were significantly more satisfied than females in relation to specialty, organization, and overall global score. There is also evidence for a significant association between age groups and job satisfaction. Older health practitioners had a higher level of satisfaction than younger ones. Regarding nationality, we found that Saudi health practitioners were less satisfied in all aspects, while non-Saudi (Arab) healthcare practitioners were the most satisfied in all aspects except city happiness.
conclusionOur study found statistically significant differences that medicine and surgery practitioners are the most satisfied professionals and the least satisfied are dentist practitioners. Health practitioners with more than five years of experience were significantly the most satisfied.
