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
backgroundIncreasing workload and difficult working conditions among doctors in Turkey may cause professional dissatisfaction and a perception of victimization. The emerging adverse conditions require a more in-depth examination of the factors affecting doctors’ migration tendencies. This study examines the mediating role of job dissatisfaction and the moderating role of perceived career opportunities on the effect of perceived victimization on migration intention among Turkish doctors. METHODOLOGY: In the study, the surveys obtained from 453 doctors were included in the analysis. Simple random sampling method was used in this descriptive-relational and cross-sectional study.
resultsIt was found that doctors’ perception of victimization has a significant and positive effect on their willingness to migrate. Also, job dissatisfaction plays a mediating role in the perception of victimization and willingness to migrate. In addition, it was found that perceived career opportunity has a moderating effect on the relationship between the perception of victimization and willingness to migrate and that perceived career opportunity has a situational mediating role in the mediating role of job dissatisfaction.
conclusionThe research contributes to the literature by examining the relationship between victimisation, career opportunity, and job dissatisfaction that affect the willingness of doctors to migrate. In addition, it provides recommendations on a current issue due to the treatment of physician migration, which is on Turkey’s agenda.Implementing strategies to reduce doctors’ perception of victimization, increase job satisfaction, and enhance career opportunities is critical to reducing their propensity to migrate, and some solutions are suggested for practitioners.
