Article in Frontiers in 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
Background: Excessive workload among nurses constitutes a significant risk factor for adverse events, including medical errors, patient falls, and reduced quality of care. A growing body of evidence indicates that organizational factors play a key role in shaping the level of workload. Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted between September 2024 and March 2025 among nurses working in public hospitals in Europe ( Results: Excessive workload among nurses remains closely associated with organizational factors that may affect the safety of both patients and staff. Interventions aimed at improving the organizational climate, the quality of management, and work organization may be of key importance for enhancing safety in healthcare systems. Conclusion: The excessive workload of nurses remains closely related to organizational factors that can affect patient and staff safety. Identifying and modifying working conditions, including work organization and organizational climate, is a key direction for actions improving safety in healthcare systems.
