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
Background: Job and life satisfaction, alongside optimism, are critical determinants of psychological resilience in frontline healthcare staff. This study aims to examine the key predictors of job satisfaction, life satisfaction, and optimism among nursing and midwifery professionals in Poland. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 475 nurses and midwives employed in various healthcare settings in Poland. Data were collected through an anonymous online questionnaire including demographic and occupational items and three validated scales: Satisfaction With Job Scale (SJS), Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), and Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R). Results: The findings revealed significant variations in job satisfaction, life satisfaction, and optimism among nurses and midwives. The mean job satisfaction score (SJS) was 20.71 (SD = 6.9), indicating a moderate level of satisfaction. Life satisfaction (SWLS) had a mean score of 21.33 (SD = 6.61), while optimism (LOT-R) was 14.85 (SD = 3.97), suggesting variability in positive expectations for the future among the participants. Job satisfaction was negatively associated with shift-based work ( Conclusion: Job satisfaction, life satisfaction, and optimism among nursing staff are significantly influenced by salary, stress levels, work environment, and education. Interventions aimed at improving working conditions, reducing stress, and promoting psychological resilience may enhance staff well-being and, consequently, patient care quality.
