Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 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
Ongoing health system reforms in Kazakhstan have transformed the working environment of primary health care (PHC) staff and may increase workload and psychosocial stress. This study aimed to assess perceived stress among PHC workers in Almaty and its associations with socio-demographic characteristics and health-related behaviors. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in October-November 2023 across all 36 state-funded PHC facilities in Almaty. General practitioners (GPs) and family nurses employed in these facilities were invited to participate. In total, 1484 respondents completed a standardized questionnaire in Kazakh or Russian administered electronically via Google Forms. Perceived stress was assessed using PSS-10, physical activity using IPAQ-SF, alcohol consumption using AUDIT-C, and tobacco use through items aligned with STEPS/GATS. Statistical analyses were performed using SAS. Associations between variables were evaluated using χ
