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
BackgroundPhysical activity is essential for preventing chronic disease and maintaining overall health. However, hospital nurses may face challenges maintaining adequate physical activity due to demanding work schedules and occupational stressors.ObjectiveTo examine the levels of physical activity among hospital nurses in Jordan and to identify demographic, occupational, and health-related factors associated with physical activity.MethodA cross-sectional survey was conducted among 750 nurses across Jordanian hospitals, with 597 respondents (80% response rate). Validated self-administered questionnaires were used to assess demographic, work characteristics, psychological well-being, sleep quality, musculoskeletal pain, and physical activity. Descriptive statistics summarized participant characteristics, and multiple linear regression was performed to identify independent associations with physical activity levels.ResultsThe mean age of participants was 32.1 years, and average work hours were 43.4 h per week. Approximately 31% of nurses report moderate physical activity levels, while 40% reported high physical activity levels. Higher physical activity levels were independently associated with longer work hours (β = 46.1; 95% CI: 1.9 to 90.2), more frequent night shifts (β = 163.8; 95% CI: 11.8 to 315.7), and more musculoskeletal pain sites (β = 254.9; 95% CI: 171.3 to 338.7). Having a chronic disease was significantly associated with lower physical activity (β = -1384.1; 95% CI: -2443.5 to -324.1).ConclusionMost nurses met recommended physical activity levels, and their engagement in physical activity was influenced by work demands and health status. Workplace health promotion initiatives should consider these factors to effectively support and sustain physical activity among hospital nurses.
