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
IntroductionThe aim of the study was to reveal the occupational risks that home healthcare workers are exposed to.MethodsThis study employed a qualitative phenomenological design, and ethics committee and institutional permissions were obtained prior to data collection. The sample of the study consisted of 14 participants working in home health services in a provincial center in Türkiye between February 15 and April 15, 2023, who agreed to participate in the study and whose consent was obtained. Data were collected using the "Descriptive Characteristics Form" and "Home Healthcare Occupational Risk Experiences Assessment Form". Number and percentage were calculated in the analysis of quantitative data, and thematic analysis was used in the analysis of qualitative data.ResultsOccupational risks to which home healthcare workers are exposed were identified as "safety risk", "risks related to responsibilities", "risks related to communication" and "risk of violence". In line with their experiences, participants suggested training, on-site registration and notification, updating laws and regulations, and improving working conditions to prevent the risks they are exposed to.ConclusionsThe findings indicate that home healthcare workers are exposed to various occupational risks. The findings highlight the need to strengthen occupational health and safety policies and protective measures to reduce occupational risks among home healthcare workers. It is foreseen that the results of the study will contribute to the conduct of new studies with larger samples in different countries.
