1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Fatigue is a multifaceted and intricate condition resulting from high demands at work and within the healthcare system, as well as from personal factors and inadequate energy recovery. It can be triggered by a variety of predictors, including lifestyle choices, environmental conditions, and both physical and mental health issues. A particularly significant factor contributing to fatigue among nurses has been the COVID-19 pandemic, which has profoundly impacted their lives, work, and perspectives on their profession. Purpose: The aim of the study was to examine the fatigue levels among nurses working in urological wards and the sociodemographic factors related to them. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study among 130 urological nurses. The questionnaire included the modified fatigue impact scale (MFIS) and metrics. Results: In our study, the mean fatigue rating was 52.68 (±16.06) points, and in the individual areas of the MFIS questionnaire, it was 24.10 (±7.34) points in physical functioning, 25.46 (±8.44) points in cognitive functions, and 5.76 (±2.13) points in psychosocial functions, suggesting that fatigue levels range between "sometimes" and "often" factors such as marital status, the number of illnesses among nurses, and the patient-to-nurse ratio are associated with the level of fatigue. Conclusion: There is a need to conduct more studies that will penetrate the fatigue experienced by nurses and the factors associated with it, especially the components related to marital status and health conditions among nurses. There is still a serious problem with nurse shortages, which cause fatigue and require more systemic solutions than just legal regulations.
