Prevalence of workplace violence against nurses in Saudi Arabia: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in International journal of nursing sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Objectives: Workplace violence is a serious issue in healthcare settings. Nurses are particularly vulnerable, and such violence significantly impacts their professional lives, leading to decreased productivity and care quality. We aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence of workplace violence against nurses through systematic review and meta-analysis in Saudi Arabia. Methods: Databases were searched for articles published in English from 2013 to 2023, including PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, Medline, Emerald, Wiley, and ProQuest. The quality of the included studies was rigorously assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal tools. Meta-analysis was conducted using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software. Subgroup analysis, meta-regression, and publication bias tests were performed. Results: The pooled prevalence of workplace violence among nurses in Saudi Arabia was 61.8 % (95 % Conclusions: This meta-analysis showed the estimate of workplace violence against nurses in Saudi Arabia is 61.8 %. Nursing managers and health policymakers should implement targeted interventions to prevent workplace violence, especially among female nurses, during afternoon shifts, in intensive care units, and in the western region of Saudi Arabia.
