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
backgroundIn recent years, the popularity of entrepreneurship among nurses and midwives has increased. People in the nursing and midwifery professions have reaped numerous benefits from this endeavour. However, little is known about the reasons why nurses and midwives decide to become business owners. The aim of the study was to explore the motivation for entrepreneurial instincts among nurses and midwives in Ghana. METHODOLOGY: This qualitative study snowball-sampled nurses and midwives in the Greater Accra Region who have established their health-related businesses. The participants consisted of eleven participants based on theoretical saturation. Using an interview guide, researchers gathered in-depth data on the discussed phenomenon and then analysed the data using thematic analysis.
resultsFive themes were identified from analysis of data, and they are frustration at the former workplace, the desire to own a business, preserving family legacy, the necessity for extra income, and engaging in something during retirement.
conclusionNurses and midwives gain experience through their work as professionals, which motivates them to become entrepreneurs. In addition to these experiences, other factors play an important role in the entrepreneurial ambitions of nurses and midwives. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: We are grateful to all nurses and midwives for their help during the study.
