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
backgroundObsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is one of the psychiatric disorders which characterized by unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Mental health problems can affect job performance of healthcare workers. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating OCD and job performance of healthcare workers in the Primary Health Care (PHC) setting of Hamadan, Iran.
methodsThis study was descriptive-correlational research. Of 403 eligible healthcare workers were selected using convenience sampling method in 50 Urban Community Health Centers (UCHC) and Health Posts (HP) in the city of Hamadan in Iran. The study instruments included the demographic information form, Patterson's Job Performance Questionnaire, and Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (YBOCS). Data were analyzed using SPSSv.26 software and the descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation test, independent t-test, One-way ANOVA, and Multiple linear regression.
resultsMean scores of OCD and job performance of the healthcare workers were 0.87 ± 0.63 and 2.63 ± 0.35, respectively. Up to 51.2% and 97% employees experienced sub-threshold OCD and better job performance, respectively. The results showed that the total score of OCD had not a significant relationship with job performance (p > 0.05). There was a statistically significant relationship between gender and educational levels with OCD (P < 0.05). The significant predictors of job performance were gender (ʙ= -2.402, p = 0.006) and employment status (ʙ =2.264, p = 0.035).
conclusionsThe findings showed that OCD is more common in women with lower education. It is recommended to implement incentive policies, provide psychological services to alleviate mental health issues, and offer training courses for employees.
