Relationship between musculoskeletal disorders, risk factors and sleep quality in healthcare workers.

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
objectiveMusculoskeletal disorders are highly prevalent among healthcare workers due to physically demanding tasks and stressful work conditions. These disorders contribute to decreased work performance, pain, and impaired quality of life. Sleep quality is an essential factor in overall health and has been linked to pain perception and musculoskeletal health. However, the relationship between musculoskeletal disorders and sleep quality remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among healthcare workers, identify associated risk factors, and examine the relationship between musculoskeletal disorders and sleep quality.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in a state hospital in Kırşehir, Turkey, with 249 healthcare workers. Participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Cornell Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire to assess musculoskeletal disorders, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index to evaluate sleep quality. Statistical analyses included Pearson's correlation test, t-test, and analysis of variance to examine associations between musculoskeletal disorders, sleep quality, and other risk factors.
resultsA significant relationship was found between musculoskeletal disorders and sleep quality (p<0.001). Healthcare workers with poor sleep quality reported higher Cornell Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire scores. Additionally, musculoskeletal disorder prevalence was significantly associated with working hours (p=0.018) and income level (p=0.047). Nurses had the highest musculoskeletal disorder scores among occupational groups.
conclusionMusculoskeletal disorders in healthcare workers are influenced by sleep quality, working hours, and income level. Ergonomic interventions and policies to improve sleep quality may help reduce musculoskeletal disorder prevalence and enhance overall well-being in this workforce.
