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
backgroundUnderstanding the association between digital payment services and health worker outcomes is critical to improving public health outcomes and optimising health workforce efficiency. This study examined the link between digital payment systems and health campaign workers' perceived satisfaction, motivation and performance in Nigeria.
methodsA national survey was conducted among 821 polio immunisation workers who participated in campaigns. A structured electronic questionnaire which had sections on sociodemographic characteristics and digital payments was used to elicit information from participants. Campaign workers' self-reported satisfaction, motivation and performance were assessed using standardised tools for examining these outcomes. Linear mixed model regression analysis was used to examine the factors associated with health worker's motivation, satisfaction and performance. Predictors of these outcomes during periods of cash and digital payment methods were assessed, with statistical significance set at the 5% level.
resultsThis cross-sectional study included 821 health campaign workers in Nigeria, with a mean age of 37.13 years (SD=11.06). Regarding digitised payments, mean scores across all constructs were generally high: general motivation (16.34±2.58; maximum=20), job satisfaction (20.33±3.16; max=25), intrinsic job satisfaction (12.87±1.62; max=15), organisational commitment (16.99±1.96; max=20), conscientiousness (15.68±1.71; max=20), timeliness and attendance (13.35±1.55; max=15) and perceived performance (20.54±2.97; max=25). Overall, the combined motivation, satisfaction and performance score was higher among workers paid via digital methods compared with those paid in cash (104.14±9.34 vs 68.43±50.75). In multivariable linear regression, being female (β=1.83; 95% CI=0.28 to 3.38) and the ability to use the internet (β=1.87; 95% CI=0.02 to 3.72) were significant independent predictors of higher overall scores.
conclusionDigital payment methods were associated with higher health workers' perceived job satisfaction, motivation and performance. Public health stakeholders need to promote the use of digital payments to maximise their positive influence on health workers.
