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
Workplace violence (WPV) against healthcare workers has become a growing problem, which seriously affects the medical service market and is the focus of global concern. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of WPV among doctors in tertiary general hospitals in Northeast China, and to analyze the influencing factors of WPV, so as to provide a reference for the development of targeted and effective prevention strategies and measures of WPV. A cross-sectional survey was conducted at two tertiary general hospitals in Dalian, Liaoning Province, Northeast China, from February to March 2024. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire covering WPV situations, sociodemographic characteristics, work situations, and psychosocial factors. A binary logistic regression model was employed to assess the independent influencing factors of WPV. A total of 503 doctors were included in this study, of whom 31.8% reported experiencing WPV. Binary logistic regression analysis identified that years of work experience of 6-15 years (OR: 1.984, 95% CI: 1.201-3.277, P = 0.007) and > 15 years (OR: 2.608, 95% CI: 1.482-4.588, P = 0.001), number of night shifts per month > 3 times (OR: 1.656, 95% CI: 1.094-2.506, P = 0.017), anxiety symptoms (OR: 1.752, 95% CI: 1.070-2.868, P = 0.026), and poor doctor-patient relationship (OR: 1.645, 95% CI: 1.060-2.553, P = 0.026) were risk factors for WPV. However, good self-rated quality of life (OR: 0.533, 95% CI: 0.335-0.850, P = 0.008) was a protective factor for WPV. Due to the cross-sectional design, the possibility of inferences of causal relationships between study variables was limited. The incidence of WPV was high among doctors in tertiary general hospitals in Northeast China, and it was affected by many factors. Therefore, it is urgent to develop effective interventions to alleviate the WPV suffered by doctors, and more attention should be paid to doctors with risk factors.
