Article in The Canadian journal of nursing research = Revue canadienne de recherche en sciences infirmieres, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BackgroundMega sporting events rely heavily on volunteers, yet limited evidence exists on nursing students' motivations, a group central to health and public safety at mass gatherings such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup.PurposeTo examine nursing students' motivations to volunteer at the 2026 FIFA World Cup and identify implications for health-focused volunteer programs.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted with nursing students at a large urban Canadian university in Toronto (n = 241). A validated motivation scale assessed career orientation, expression of values, interpersonal contact, extrinsic rewards, patriotism, and love of sport, alongside demographics and prior volunteer experience.ResultsCareer orientation, expression of values, and extrinsic rewards were the most strongly endorsed motivations, while patriotism and love of sport were least endorsed. Prior volunteer experience was not significantly associated with overall motivation. Students identifying as Middle Eastern/North African reported higher patriotic motivation than White students; other demographic differences were minimal.ConclusionsNursing students' motivation to volunteer at a mega sporting event is driven primarily by professional development and prosocial values rather than event fandom or national sentiment. Health-focused volunteer programs should emphasize career-relevant benefits, define clear supervised clinical roles, and provide targeted training, including simulation. Addressing structural barriers such as scheduling may further enhance participation. Findings inform nursing education and public health preparedness for FIFA 2026 and future mass-gathering events.
