1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Happiness at work is an important factor associated with nurses' wellbeing, performance, retention, and quality of care. However, evidence on workplace happiness among nurses working in prehospital emergency care remains scarce, despite the emotional demands and complexity of this setting. This study aimed to analyse overall happiness at work and its dimensions-engagement, job satisfaction, and affective organisational commitment-among nurses working in prehospital emergency care in Portugal and to identify associated sociodemographic and professional factors. A cross-sectional observational, correlational study was conducted between June and July 2025 with 103 nurses working in Portuguese prehospital emergency services. Data were collected using a sociodemographic and professional questionnaire and the Short Happiness at Work Scale. Descriptive statistics, Student's
