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: Nurses' work motivation encompasses their readiness to perform effectively and achieve designated tasks and objectives. Providing high-quality nursing care becomes significantly more challenging in the absence of motivated nurses and a supportive healthcare environment. Nevertheless, there is a paucity of empirical research examining the work motivation of nurses. Hence, this study aimed to assess the level of work motivation and its associated factors among nurses working in public hospitals in the Wolaita Zone. Methods: An institutional-based cross-sectional study involving 419 nurses and 12 key informants was conducted using a mixed-methods method. Quantitative data were collected using a simple random sampling technique, while qualitative data were collected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using pretested self-administered questionnaires and in-depth interviews. Statistical Package for Social Science version 26 was used for statistical analysis. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with work motivation. Statistical significance was determined using AORs with 95% CIs and Results: A total of 394 participants were included, yielding a response rate of 94%. About 202 nurses (51.3%; 95%CI: 46.4-56.9) reported being motivated. Several factors were negatively associated with nurses' work motivation: type of institution (AOR = 0.406; 95% CI: 0.236-0.699; Conclusion: The results reveal that approximately 50% of the nursing participants expressed low levels of work motivation. Significant factors influencing nurses' motivation included the type of institution, years of work experience, workload, perceptions of respect and benefits, and quality of leadership in hospitals.
