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.

However, limited research has examined socio-demographic and occupational factors associated with job satisfaction among healthcare workers in Northern Nigeria.

Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among healthcare workers at Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital and Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital in Kaduna State. Non-probability sampling was used to recruit 282 participants across professional categories. Data were collected using an adapted structured, self-administered questionnaire. Chi-square tests and binary logistic regression were used to examine associations between variables and job satisfaction at p < 0.05. Results: Overall, 54.3% of participants reported moderate-to-high job satisfaction, while 45.7% reported low satisfaction. In bivariate analysis, religion (χ Conclusion: Moderate job satisfaction levels were observed among healthcare workers in tertiary hospitals in Kaduna State. Income satisfaction and leave entitlements were independently associated with job satisfaction.
