Proposing conceptual frameworks for prevention and management of workplace violence against healthcare workers in a Nigerian State.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionWorkplace violence (WPV) is one of the major challenges confronting healthcare workers in the developed and developing nations. Standard protocols for its prevention and management are essential for workplace safety in healthcare institutions.
methodsThe conceptual framework was developed using concurrent mixed methods design. Data were obtained from nurses, doctors and health administrators recruited from three levels of healthcare institutions (primary, secondary and tertiary) in Lagos State, Nigeria. For quantitative data collection, 266 nurses and 135 doctors were recruited, while six nurses and six doctors who were union leaders, and six hospital administrators were recruited for qualitative data collection.
resultsThis study revealed that objectivity by the health care administrators, treatment policy, anonymous reporting system, training and retraining of health workers, public awareness, increasing the staff strength and providing adequate security measures are essential for reducing and managing the occurrence of workplace violence against health care workers.
conclusionIn conclusion, to address workplace violence against healthcare professionals, the framework for managing and preventing workplace violence was described and is suggested to be used in the healthcare industry.
