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: Workplace violence (WPV) is a severe challenge faced by healthcare systems globally, posing significant threats to the occupational safety and wellbeing of nursing staff. This study aims to understand the prevalence of WPV experienced by nursing personnel in different levels of hospitals in Lanzhou, China, analyze its key influencing factors, and explore the negative impact of WPV on the occupational wellbeing of nurses. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional survey design, conducted from February to March 2025, utilizing a multi-stage sampling method to survey nursing staff from five tertiary hospitals and five secondary hospitals in Lanzhou. A total of 1,702 valid questionnaires were collected. Data were gathered using the "Questionnaire on Workplace Violence Exposure Among Healthcare Workers" and the "Occupational Wellbeing Scale for Healthcare Workers." Descriptive analysis, chi-square tests, Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed using SPSS 27.0. Results: The study found that the overall incidence rate of WPV among nursing staff in the past year was 69.92%, with verbal abuse being the most common form (69.04%). The incidence rate of WPV in tertiary hospitals (74.97%) was significantly higher than that in secondary hospitals (64.86%; Conclusion: The incidence rate of WPV among nursing staff in Lanzhou is at a high level and is closely related to hospital tier, department type, and individual characteristics. WPV significantly reduces the occupational wellbeing of nurses. The findings suggest that healthcare institutions should implement tiered and targeted intervention strategies, enhancing organizational support, optimizing violence prevention measures, and providing psychological interventions to effectively improve the occupational safety and wellbeing of nursing staff.
