Impact of shift durations on sleep, fatigue, and wellness among neonatologists: a cross-sectional survey analysis.

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
objectiveTo assess the effects of shift durations on sleep, fatigue, and wellness among U.S. neonatologists in diverse settings.
methodsA cross-sectional survey of U.S. neonatologists yielded 810 responses from 4400 recipients. Statistical analyses included ANOVA, logistic regression, and cluster analysis.
resultsYounger neonatologists (<35 years) reported the highest fatigue levels, with females more affected than males (p = 0.0185). Male neonatologists were less likely than females (OR 0.55, p = 0.0013), and those in university settings more likely than non-university settings (OR 1.43, p = 0.0389), to report adverse effects of shifts >16 h. Cluster analysis identified three fatigue patterns, with the most severe among younger neonatologists working shifts >16 h.
conclusionLong shifts (>16 h) negatively affect neonatologists' wellness, particularly younger and female clinicians. With most neonatal-perinatal medicine fellows being female, policies addressing shift duration are needed.
