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
Introduction: Occupational stress is a significant issue in the nursing profession, stemming from the high level of responsibility and excessive workload in demanding clinical settings. Prolonged exposure to stress can lead to adverse health effects and a decline in the quality of patient care. Objective: The aim of the study was to assess the level of occupational stress among nurses and to analyze the relationship between occupational stress and selected sociodemographic and work-related factors. Materials and methods: The study included 588 male and female nurses employed in three hospitals. A diagnostic survey method was employed, utilizing the Subjective Work Assessment (SWA) Questionnaire and a proprietary questionnaire that covered socio-demographic and work-related data. Statistical analysis was performed using non-parametric tests and linear regression. Results: In the study group, high levels of work-related stress were found. The highest levels of stress were observed among those working overtime and those with a higher patient-to-nurse ratio. Significant differences were also observed between different places of employment-the highest levels were recorded in intensive care units, while the lowest levels were recorded in primary healthcare. Marital status also influenced stress levels-those in a relationship experienced lower levels of stress. In multivariate analysis, significant predictors of stress included age (positive correlation), length of service (negative correlation), gender, education, work system, and overtime work. Conclusions: Work-related stress among nurses is a multifactorial phenomenon, with both organizational and sociodemographic factors involved. Higher levels of occupational stress are primarily related to organizational factors, such as workload, patient-to-nurse ratio, and overtime work.
