Sources of stress among long-term care workers: Findings from qualitative and survey data.
Article in PloS one, 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
Stress is a major problem in workplaces, with connections to adverse outcomes including injuries, illness, lost-time, burnout, and turnover. Long-term care (LTC) organizations frequently report such outcomes. The purpose of this study is to investigate sources of stress among LTC workers. The research methods include: in-depth, semi-structured interviews, and a survey for quantified description. The findings indicate that time pressures, work situations, and financial situations are the major stressors identified by respondents. Respondents identified personal or family responsibilities, physical or health problems/conditions, and caring for children, as additional stressors. Many respondents established a network of friends, family, superiors, peers, and colleagues to seek social and emotional support, which served as a buffer against stress. Furthermore, respondents adopted additional coping mechanisms to combat stress, such as utilizing prayers or exercising mindfulness.
