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
Objective: This study aimed to examine the dietary patterns of nurses working night shifts in tertiary hospitals in Hangzhou and to assess the association between these patterns and quality of life. The objective is to provide evidence from a nutritional standpoint to inform health promotion strategies within the nursing workforce. Method: A cross-sectional design was employed. A total of 1,024 valid questionnaires of dietary intake data were collected using the simplified Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ25), and quality of life was assessed via the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36). Factor analysis was utilized to identify major dietary patterns. One-way analysis of variance was conducted to explore differences in quality-of-life scores across dietary pattern groups. Results: Three primary dietary patterns were identified: Traditional, Western, and Balanced. The traditional and balanced dietary patterns were associated with higher SF-36 scores across most dimensions compared to the western dietary pattern, with the exception of the general health dimension. Statistically significant differences were observed between the Traditional and Western patterns in physical functioning, emotional state, health transition, and general health ( Conclusion: Distinct dietary patterns were observed among nurses engaged in night-shift work, with associations noted between specific patterns and quality-of-life outcomes. These findings suggest that dietary behavior may serve as a proxy for broader health-related behaviors. Interventions targeting nutritional habits may contribute to enhanced quality of life and support comprehensive health promotion strategies among nursing personnel.
