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
backgroundMidwives play a pivotal role in maternal and child health systems, yet their performance is profoundly shaped by organizational commitment and work engagement.
aimThis study examined the mediating effect of work engagement on the relationship between organizational commitment and work performance among midwives in Ghana.
methodAn analytical cross-sectional design was employed in this study. Data were collected from 254 midwives using validated scales to assess organizational commitment, work engagement, and work performance. Analyses were conducted using SPSS Statistics and AMOS for structural equation modeling (SEM).
resultsMost participants were female (96.9%) and aged 30-39 years (54.3%). Organizational commitment was positively correlated with work engagement (r = 0.125, p < 0.05) and work performance (r = 0.166, p < 0.05). Work engagement also showed a strong positive correlation with work performance (r = 0.662, p < 0.05). Mediation analysis confirmed that work engagement fully mediated the relationship between organizational commitment and work performance (β = 0.078, SE = 0.061, p < 0.001).
conclusionThe results of the study highlight the vital role of work engagement as a positive and significant mediator between organizational commitment and work performance among midwives. Investing in strategies that boost midwives' commitment and engagement is essential for strengthening maternal healthcare quality and workforce sustainability.
