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

objectiveTo understand the perceptions of women waste pickers regarding nursing care in the promotion of environmentally sustainable practices, from the perspective of social entrepreneurship.

methodAn action research study conducted between August 2024 and March 2025 with 26 women from a waste pickers' association located in southern Brazil, focusing on the promotion of environmentally sustainable practices. This study focused solely on the investigative phase, during which data were collected through individual interviews and examined using reflexive thematic analysis.

resultsThe women identified nursing care as essential to the organization and safety of the workplace. Their perceptions suggest that the presence of a nurse in the association's daily activities fostered recognition of the social value of their work and boosted their self-esteem. These findings reinforce the role of nursing care as a form of social entrepreneurship, intrinsically linked to environmental health.

conclusionThe perspectives of women waste pickers reveal that conceiving of nursing care as a driver of sustainability requires a break from the conventional model. From the perspective of social entrepreneurship, care emerges as a systemic and relational phenomenon, in which the nurse serves as the essential link between human health and planetary integrity.
