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
backgroundDue to the nature of shift work, nurses experience very high mental and physical pressure, which can ultimately affect their work ability (WA). One factor that affects work ability is the level of physical activity (PAL). Since nurses are responsible for providing healthcare for the public, it is necessary to evaluate their WA and PAL. Therefore, the present study used subjective and objective evaluation to test the relationship between PAL and WA among nurses in different hospital departments affiliated with Isfahan University of Medical Sciences.
methodsA descriptive-analytical study was conducted over 6 months. A questionnaire was used to measure the work ability index (WAI). The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used for subjective evaluation, and the Xiaomi smart wristband Mi Band Five was used for objective assessment. These tools extracted the components of behaviors related to physical activity for 7 days. One hundred nurses were selected for subjective evaluation, and then 40 of them were randomly selected for objective assessment. The SPSS software version 23 was used for data analysis. Multiple regression analysis was used to test the effect of physical activity on the work ability index by controlling other demographic variables.
results7% of participants had poor WAI, and 45% had moderate work ability. Also, the ability to do good and excellent work was 32% and 16%, respectively. In this study, 31% of participants had low PAL, 42% moderate PAL, and 27% high PAL. In the objective evaluation, 12.5% of participants had a PAL of 100, 35% less than 100(poor), and 52.5% had a PAL above 100(High). In the subjective evaluation, the highest PAL belonged to the emergency department. The results of the subjective and objective methods to check the correlation between WAI and PAL showed a positive and significant correlation.
conclusionIn the present study, subjective and objective evaluations showed a significant relationship between work ability and PAL. The present findings can be used to develop future interventions to improve nurses' health and work performance.
