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: Primary care is a fundamental component of healthcare in Brazil. Often provided by nurses, little is known about the practice environment of nurses in primary care and if nurses are satisfied with their role in the primary care setting. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine if aspects of the primary care practice environment in Brazil are associated nurse reported outcomes of job satisfaction, intention to stay on the job, and the quality of care. Design: A cross-sectional survey that included a randomized cluster stratified sample of nurses who provided primary care services. Settings: 55 health centers within five health districts located in Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil. Participants: 148 primary care nurses who completed and returned a survey. Methods: The paper-based survey was made available to nurse participants. Nurses were queried on demographic and practice characteristics. Specific measures included the Practice Environment Scale-Brazilian, the job satisfaction subscale of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire, and single items that assessed intention to stay on the job and the perceived quality of care. Generalized linear and Poisson regression models were used to estimates outcomes of interest. Results: Slightly more than half (56.5%) of the nurses reported a favorable practice environment and they provided on average a high score of 75.29 (SD = 21.03) on job satisfaction. High scores were also reported on intention to stay on the job (mean = 8.08; SD = 2.91) and the quality of patient care (mean = 7.68; SD = 1.38). In a fully adjusted regression model, a favorable practice environment was significantly associated with a 2.15 ( Conclusion: Overall, our sample of Brazilian nurses that work in primary care reported a favorable perception of their practice environment. This likely contributed to their high scores on intention to stay on the job and the overall quality of patient care. Nurse managers and administrators should focus their attention on aspects of the practice environment as a low cost means to attract and retain nurses in primary care and to improve the overall quality of care.
