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
introductionIt is an established fact that job satisfaction of medical staff is a crucial factor that affects healthcare quality and plays a major role in the retention of qualified staff.
aimThis study aims to assess the occupational satisfaction of nurses and physiotherapists in a tertiary rehabilitation institution, holding a bed capacity of 511 beds, by utilizing the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) questionnaire.
methodsThis cross-sectional survey was conducted at a tertiary rehabilitation hospital between August and November 2022. The study targeted full-time nurses and rehabilitation therapists working in the institution using an English questionnaire focusing on the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) that was sent electronically to all eligible staff. The JSS questionnaire assessed job satisfaction and consisted of 36 items in nine domains of job satisfaction, which included pay, promotion, supervision, benefits, rewards, operational procedures, coworkers, work itself, and communications.
findingsThe response rate was 64.43% among nurses and 64.93% among therapists. The satisfaction rate was higher among therapists (34.41%) compared to nurses (26.25%). The overall job satisfaction mean score was significantly higher among therapists compared to nurses at 149.28±27.12 compared to 143.14±31.67, respectively. This was also observed in the pay domain (13.06±4.06 versus 12.36±4.29), fringe benefits domain (12.77±4.89 versus 11.90±4.82), and coworkers' domain (15.55±3.67 versus 14.71±4.17), while it was significantly higher among nurses compared to therapists when looking at the promotion domain at 14.27±3.52 versus 13.75±3.16, respectively. When doing regression analysis, the odds ratio (OR) was the highest among bachelor nurses and those with more than 40 years of age for therapists.
conclusionRehabilitation therapists are more satisfied than nurses with the main satisfaction domains being financial benefits in the form of pay, fringe benefits, and contingency rewards. Age, gender, and work duration did not show any significant value in this study, and overall, the dissatisfied group for both rehabilitation therapists and nurses did not manifest any difference in most of the job satisfaction factors.
