Workplace stress: prevalence, sources, and consequences among academic staff at the University of Calabar, Nigeria.
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: Workplace stress among university academics in sub-Saharan Africa remains insufficiently investigated, particularly in studies that combine validated psychometric assessment with objective clinical measurements and evaluation of stress-related lifestyle behaviours. This study addressed this gap by examining workplace stress and associated factors among academic staff at the University of Calabar (UNICAL), Nigeria. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 401 permanently employed academic staff drawn from all 15 faculties of UNICAL. Sample size was calculated using the Kish formula (Z = 1.96, Results: Workplace stress was highly prevalent, with 84.3% of respondents classified within the moderate ASSET stress category and 15.0% within the high category. Self-reported stress was significantly associated with gender, educational attainment, academic rank, and teaching experience (all Conclusion: Workplace stress is pervasive among UNICAL academics and is linked to adverse lifestyle behaviours and hypertension. Institutional interventions should prioritise workload management, equitable remuneration, career advancement opportunities, and access to mental health and occupational wellness services.
