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: Occupational stress is a prevalent health issue that can have both clinical and psychological repercussions, impacting the quality of care of emergency nurses. However, more research is required to better understand the prevalence of this condition and its implications for the work capabilities of nurses in emergency departments. Objective: To examine the relationship between occupational stress and the quality of care among emergencydepartment nurses at government hospitals in the Gaza Strip, Palestine. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used to examine stress levels and quality of care using the convenience sampling technique between July and September 2023. Nurses completed a questionnaire comprising three parts: Emergency nurse stress questionnaire with 12 items, professional quality of life scale with 10 items, and demographic data with 9 items in three governmental hospitals in the GazaStrip. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS version 25. Result: A total of 80 emergency nurses were included. The study showed an equal distribution of emergency nurses according to gender 50%. Furthermore, 42% of the nurses working at Al Shifa Medical Hospital, more than half 54%, had less than 5 years of experience. The overall average mean score for the level of stress among emergency nurses was 4.83 (SD = 1.078), Also, the overall average mean score quality of care for among emergency nurses was 2.51 (SD = 0.984). Conclusion: This study indicates that there was a significant negative relationship between occupational stress at work and quality of care, indicating that as stress levels increase, factors that restrict quality of care also increase. Furthermore, the findings highlighted statistically significant differences in the mean score of occupation stress and age, sex, years of experience and shift of work. Based on these results, it is essential that health policymakers address the high levels of OS among emergency nurses to improve quality of care.
