Medical shift work: a narrative review.
Review in Revista brasileira de medicina do trabalho : publicacao oficial da Associacao Nacional de Medicina do Trabalho-ANAMT. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Shift and night work combine training and practice in medical education, assuming an essential character in some medical specialties. Nevertheless, it is recognized that this work schedule affects biological functions, cognitive performance, and the safety of both patients and workers. The aim of this narrative literature review was to describe current knowledge about the impact of shift and night work in medical professionals. The LILACS, MEDLINE, and SciELO databases were searched for publications between 2010 and 2020 using the terms: "shift work schedule" and "physicians". A total of 12 publications reported outcomes on sleep quality, family relationships, burnout syndrome, and cardiovascular health. Despite these outcomes, the studies highlighted the importance of shift and night work in medical training, reflecting a loss of learning opportunities when limitations are placed on work hours. The studies suggested initiatives to mitigate the effects of shift work, including increased awareness by managers, a culture of respect for resting periods, the encouragement of family support networks, and the availability of natural light in the workplace.
