A qualitative study on nutrition and well-being of healthcare shift workers.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Shift work presents a variety of health challenges. Despite the acknowledged significance of nutrition in supporting health, there is limited qualitative research on the specific dietary habits and nutritional challenges by healthcare shift workers. The present study aimed to explore challenges in maintaining optimum lifestyle behaviours among healthcare shift workers. Forty healthcare shift workers were interviewed in depth individually. The session was audio recorded and transcribed verbatim, and the interviews were conducted either face-to-face or via video call, depending on the participants' preferences. Three key themes emerged: food intake, sleep quality, and physical activity. The participants expressed concerns about meal skipping, irregular meal schedules, food accessibility, lack of sleep, and barriers to physical activity. This study highlighted significant challenges faced by healthcare shift workers in maintaining optimal dietary and other lifestyle behaviours, emphasising the interconnectedness of food intake, sleep quality, and physical activity. Addressing such issues is crucial for improving the overall health and well-being of this workforce.
