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
backgroundPublic health and improving the working conditions of people working in hospitals is very important because the health of nurses will have a significant impact on community health. Mental workload is a fundamental concept in the job. Therefore, it is very important to know the relation between mental workload and human performance, especially in nurses. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between workload with cognitive failures and needle sticks in nurses of Alzahra Hospital in Isfahan. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 245 nurses who worked in Al-Zahra Hospital in Isfahan. For collecting data, National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index (NASA-TLX), the Cognitive Failure questionnaire (CFQ), and accidental needle stick injuries questionnaire were used. Data were collected and analyzed by using SPSS.
resultsThe mean ± SD of the age of the participants was 35.85 ± 7.15 years. There is a significant relationship between the demographic variables and the frequency of needle stick (P.value < 0.05). The mean of workload among the nurses was 81.75 ± 9.8. In addition, the mean of cognitive failure was 63.46 ± 7.92. The correlation between workload and cognitive failure was not significant (R = -0.017, P.value > 0.05). There is a significant difference between the workload mean (P.value < 0.05) and no significant difference between the cognitive failure mean (P.value > 0.05) in the two groups with needle stick experience and without needle stick experience.
conclusionNeedlestick is one of the most common accidents that usually occurs among health workers. Many factors affect the occurrence of these injuries. High mental workload can cause accidents and injuries by affecting the cognitive abilities of nurses. Therefore, it is important to manage the work schedule, training, supervision, as well as complying with safety and health procedures and standards in this occupational group.
