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
backgroundEnvironmental degradation and climate change are growing global problems that affect public health. This integrative review aims to consolidate the available evidence concerning environmental awareness, attitudes, and behaviors among healthcare professionals toward climate change and the implementation of sustainable health practices.
methodsA systematic integrative review of the qualitative and quantitative studies was conducted. Studies were identified through searches of eight databases until October 2025. The inclusion criteria encompassed studies involving healthcare professionals that focused on environmental awareness, attitudes, and behaviors. Two reviewers independently screened the identified studies, and a third reviewer resolved any discrepancies. Data were analyzed using a thematic analysis approach.
resultsThe review included 10 studies. Healthcare professionals recognized the link between climate change and health, but highlighted a discrepancy between growing awareness and sustainable practices. Concerns included the environmental impact of healthcare. Barriers to adopting sustainable practices included a perceived lack of institutional support. There was a dissociation between professionals' eco-friendly behaviors in their personal lives and work settings.
conclusionsThere is a need for implementing interventions focused on providing education, creating supportive work environments, and involving healthcare professionals in decision-making related to sustainability.
