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
aimThis study investigates work-related stress, moral reward and job satisfaction among healthcare professionals in the postpandemic era, focusing on the psychological and professional challenges they face. The study examines the role of excessive demands, inadequate support and reward imbalances, and explores the impact on healthcare workers' well-being and patient care quality.
designUtilising a quantitative research design, the study involved Greek healthcare professionals across various specialities.
methodsData were gathered via standardised questionnaires: the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14), Effort-Reward Imbalance (ERI) Questionnaire and Employee Satisfaction Index (ESI). The instruments assessed stress levels, effort-reward balance and job satisfaction, with analysis conducted using SPSS to identify key stressors and their correlation with job satisfaction.
resultsThe findings indicated high levels of perceived stress among participants without significant gender differences. Nurses particularly reported higher efforts and reward imbalances. Overall job satisfaction was moderate, with specific dissatisfaction with rewards, benefits and career advancement opportunities. Statistical analyses revealed significant correlations between increased stress, ERI and emotional overcommitment.
conclusionsThe study highlights the critical need for interventions that address ERIs and improve psychosocial support and working conditions, especially for nursing staff. It emphasises the importance of equitable compensation, professional advancement opportunities and a supportive work environment to enhance job satisfaction and reduce stress among healthcare professionals in a postpandemic context. IMPACT: This study underscores the need for systemic interventions to alleviate work-related stress, ensuring better work-life balance and improved job satisfaction among healthcare professionals. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No public or patient involvement.
