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
objectiveMidwives play a crucial role in maternal and neonatal health. However, there is a growing global shortage of midwives, and the high turnover rate is a key contributing factor. The research focusing on the turnover intention of night-shift midwives is limited in China.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted from January to December 2023 across 493 public hospitals in mainland China, with 1588 night-shift midwives participating. A self-designed questionnaire collected sociodemographic information and night-shift work-related characteristics. Turnover intention was measured using the Turnover Intention Scale, and sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to identify factors influencing turnover intention.
resultsA proportion of 49.7% (n = 789) of night-shift midwives reported turnover intentions. Lower turnover intention was associated with being married, having better health status, good sleep quality, and ≥ 15 years of work experience. Higher satisfaction with shift scheduling and overall work were also associated with lower turnover intention. Conversely, completing additional work during rest time after night shifts and experiencing job burnout were associated with higher turnover intentions.
conclusionsHigh turnover intention among night-shift midwives represents a significant challenge for maternal health services in China. Hospital administrators may consider prioritizing shift scheduling systems, regularly monitoring job burnout and satisfaction levels, and implementing targeted interventions to reduce turnover and ensure workforce sustainability.
