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
Nurses are essential pillars of society, providing care for the sick. It is crucial for society to ensure that nurses have favorable working conditions, as they face a heightened risk of negative psychological conditions such as depression, anxiety, stress, and emotional exhaustion due to the demanding nature of their work. The strain on healthcare staff, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, has underscored these challenges. This study aimed to identify predictors of work-related mental health issues in nurses' work environments. In 2017, a questionnaire was distributed to 9,219 Swedish nurses, with 4,962 responses received. The questionnaire was redistributed during the pandemic in 2020, and 3,107 nurses responded. However, due to missing data and some nurses previously reporting a mental health diagnosis, only 2,030 questionnaires were included in the study. Among these, 143 nurses reported experiencing work-related mental health problems. The data was analyzed by logistic regression analysis, and 6 out of the 24 statements investigated were statistically significant ( Conclusions: This study revealed that work pace, recovery, support from colleagues, joy, meaningfulness, and development opportunities at work are particularly important for nurses' mental health. Actions in those areas are needed for nurses to have a sustainable work situation.
