Effectiveness of Total Body Resistance Exercise Intervention on Sleep Quality Among Nursing Staff.
Article in The journal of nursing research : JNR, 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
backgroundThe sleep quality of nursing staff is a critical issue worldwide due to the significant impact of their unique work patterns on public health and their job performance. However, research on the efficacy of exercise interventions in terms of improving sleep quality in nurses is inadequate. PURPOSE: This study was designed to explore the effects of a total resistance exercise (TRX) training program performed twice a week on improving the sleep quality of nursing staff.
methodsA quasi-experimental design was employed, and a total of 65 nursing staff were enrolled as participants. The experimental group (33 participants) participated in a 12-week TRX training program, conducted twice a week for 90 min per session. The control group (32 participants) received no intervention. Sleep quality was assessed using the Chinese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) at baseline, week 6, and week 12. Generalized estimating equations were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention.
resultsThe TRX training program demonstrated positive effects in terms of improving overall sleep quality, enhancing subjective sleep quality, and alleviating daytime dysfunction. These results demonstrate a positive impact of TRX on sleep quality in nurses throughout the intervention period.
conclusionsThe findings of this study highlight the potential benefits of implementing a 12-week TRX exercise intervention for nursing staff. It is recommended that hospital management consider incorporating this or a similar exercise program into comprehensive health promotion strategies to enhance the sleep health of nursing personnel.
