1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Work addiction is an emerging concern that adversely affects the well-being of healthcare professionals. This study examines the relationship between personality types and work addiction, and how these factors influence the quality of work life among nurses and healthcare staff in Iran. This research examines how personality types, particularly Types A and D, contribute to the development of work addiction and its impact on the overall quality of work life. A cross-sectional study was conducted with participants selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using standardized questionnaires that assessed personality type, work addiction, and quality of work life. Statistical analyses, including correlation and regression analyses, were employed to determine the relationships between variables. The findings revealed that Type A individuals exhibited a significant positive correlation with work addiction, while Type D individuals also showed a significant association. Conversely, Type B individuals demonstrated lower tendencies toward work addiction. Moreover, increased work addiction was significantly related to reduced job satisfaction and heightened levels of burnout. The study underscores the importance of implementing targeted interventions—such as stress management programs, flexible work hours, and tailored mental health support—to mitigate work addiction and enhance the quality of work life. However, the cross-sectional design and the specific sample limit the generalizability of the findings. These results provide valuable insights for healthcare organizations seeking to improve occupational health and staff well-being.
