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
backgroundNurse shortage have become an international healthcare crisis. The migration of nursing professionals from developing countries enlarges nurse shortages, which harms the standard of healthcare in their home nations. This study aimed to investigate the tendency to migrate and the influencing factors among nurses in Shiraz, Iran.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in 2023 on nurses working in public hospitals in Shiraz. A total of 595 nurses were selected through stratified random sampling. The data were collected using a researcher-designed questionnaire. The data were analyzed using t-tests, ANOVA, correlation analysis and ordinal logistic regression through STATA v.17.
resultsThe results revealed that 63.96% of nurses expressed a high tendency to migrate. According to the estimates of ordinal logistic model, nurses’ migration tendency had a positive and significant relationship with the level of nurses’ education, hospital specialization (OR = 2.22 and 2.11 for Burn and Orthopaedics hospitals, respectively), having a plan to change job (OR = 2.68), and spouse’s income (OR = 2.23). On the other hand, being married (OR = 0.42), satisfaction with the nursing profession (OR = 0.51), and the adequacy of nurses in the ward (0.65) showed a negative relationship with the tendency to migrate among nurses.
conclusionsThe high level of tendency to migrate among nurses in Iran highlights a serious challenge for the Iran’s healthcare system. This study demonstrated that multiple factors play a role in nurse tendency for migration. The retention of nursing staff and migration prevention require evidence-based policies and interventions to enhance their workplace conditions, adequate staffing, job satisfaction, and professional development opportunities.
