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

objectiveThis cross-sectional study conducted an integrated assessment of well-being among healthcare workers, investigating occupational health and safety factors, living determinants, and psychophysical health status.

methodsThe Worker Well-Being Questionnaire (NIOSH WellBQ) was distributed (April-May 2024) to 319 healthcare professionals engaged in surgical divisions, medical departments, rehabilitation units, and outpatient services. Questionnaires were collected, guaranteeing anonymity and privacy of participants.

resultsFindings indicated that healthcare workers were generally satisfied with their jobs and felt supported by their supervisors and colleagues. Overall, participants reported relatively few days of poor mental or physical health and a very low mean score for chronic health conditions. Finally, the results suggest that this working population is also pleased with its overall living conditions.

conclusionsThe NIOSH WellBQ is a practical tool that can be used for establishing benchmarks of healthcare workers' well-being and identifying targeted interventions for improvement.
