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

Starting in 2022 and continuing into 2024, health workers in the UK voted to take widespread strike action. Amongst the literature that has examined healthcare strikes, there is a paucity of qualitative literature and little that explores the perspectives of those who work through strikes. This study sought to address this, exploring the perspectives of health workers who did and did not go on strike in the United Kingdom throughout the 2022-2024 disputes. Semistructured interviews were carried out with an interdisciplinary sample of NHS staff who both did and did not strike. Three themes emerged:
