1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 and aim: Shift work is known to have a significant impact on the health and well-being of nurses, and there is a need for practical tools to assess this impact. This study introduces the "Quality of Life Scale for Shift-Working Nurses" (QoLS-SWN), which was developed to provide a reliable and valid tool for assessing the effects of shift work on nurses' health and well-being. Methods: This study employed a methodological research design to develop and validate a new scale for assessing the quality of life of shift-working nurses. Data were collected from two samples of nurses working in various hospitals. The first sample ( Results: The QoLS-SWN demonstrated excellent reliability, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.95, and factor loadings ranging from 0.56 to 0.90. The scale comprises three dimensions: physical and mental exhaustion, health risks and job safety, and social and psychological interactions, explaining 71.89% of the total variance. CFA affirmed the structural validity of the scale, with fit indices indicating a good model fit (CMIN/df = 2.33, GFI = 0.86, IFI = 0.95, TLI = 0.94, CFI = 0.95, RMSEA = 0.07). Conclusion: The QoLS-SWN is a reliable and valid tool for measuring the impact of shift work on nurses' quality of life. By providing insights into the multifaceted consequences of shift work, the scale may guide the development of targeted interventions to enhance nurses' quality of life. This scale can inform nursing practice and policy, ultimately improving nurse well-being and patient care outcomes.
