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
backgroundNurses play a crucial role as essential healthcare providers, and their health-promoting lifestyle behaviors (HPLB) can significantly influence patients' attitudes toward health promotion. Despite their importance, limited research has been conducted on HPLB among clinical nurses in Mogadishu. This study aims to examine the HPLB of clinical nurses in Mogadishu and identify key factors influencing these behaviors. METHODOLOGY: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from September to November 2024, involving 423 nurses from public and private hospitals in Mogadishu. Cluster random sampling was used, and data were collected using self-administered questionnaires based on the modified Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II). Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, ANOVA, and categorical regression with SPSS version 27.
resultsA total of 423 nurses participated in the study. The mean scores for self-actualization, health responsibility/physical activity, nutrition, job security, interpersonal support, and overall health-promoting lifestyle were 25.87 ± 4.99, 26.70 ± 5.71, 10.16 ± 2.48, 18.73 ± 4.09, and 17.68 ± 3.95, respectively, with an overall mean score of 99.14 ± 16.1 out of 152. Nurses demonstrated moderate levels of health-promoting behaviors, with self-actualization reflecting frequent engagement in personal growth, while nutrition and interpersonal support indicated moderate adherence to recommended practices. Categorical regression analysis identified monthly income, employment sector, number of children, educational qualification, working department, gender, and years of work experience as predictors of overall health-promoting lifestyle behaviors (p < 0.001), with adjusted R² values ranging from 0.023 to 0.094 across the six subscales.
conclusionNurses in Mogadishu demonstrated moderate health-promoting lifestyle behaviors. Key predictors included income, employment sector, working department, gender, and work experience. Interventions that promote healthy habits and supportive work environments are essential to enhance nurses' well-being and quality of care.
