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: Managing occupational health hazards (OHH) in the nursing profession is crucial for improving nurses' quality of life. Nurses are facing OHH while delivering patient care. These hazards can lead to morbidity, mortality and compromised patient care. Aim: The study explored and described the perceptions of nurse managers regarding the management of OHH among nurses at the Intermediate Hospital Onandjokwe. Setting: The study was conducted in the state healthcare facility at the Intermediate Hospital Onandjokwe. Methods: A qualitative approach with phenomenological, descriptive, exploratory and contextual designs was adopted. Non-probability purposive sampling was employed, and sample size was determined by data saturation. The study utilised an interviewer guide, field notes and an audio recorder as instruments for data collection. The data were analysed using a thematic approach. The criteria for ensuring data trustworthiness were applied, and fundamental ethical principles were followed. Results: Three major themes and their corresponding sub-themes emerged from the data, such as: (1) perceived factors associated with the management of OHH, (2) experiences of OHH and (3) challenges faced by nurses in managing OHH. Conclusion: The nurse managers perceived poor management of OHH in the hospital, which exposed nurses to physical, chemical, biological and psychosocial health hazards. Contribution: The study supports the sustainable development goals by improving health and safety practices for nurses and enhancing their working conditions. It aligns with Vision 2023 by promoting a healthier, safer workforce to improve nurses' health and well-being.
