Healthcare workers hydration status and performance: a scoping review.
Synthesis in Frontiers in health services, 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
Background: Healthcare workers play a crucial role in providing life-saving care in high-pressure fast paced settings, where sustained alertness is critical. Adequate hydration is essential for their decision-making and timely delivery of treatment. Water intake is crucial for optimal cognitive, digestive, and cardiovascular function. The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes the importance of hydration in delivering quality healthcare. Therefore, this review aims to map the existing literature on healthcare workers' hydration status and its relationship with their work performance. Methods: In this scoping review, we conducted an electronic search in three databases- PubMed/PubMed Central, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar. The search was carried out between March 2023 through September 2023. Result: The scoping search identified 17,799 records, of which 15 met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and were fully reviewed ( Conclusion: There is a lack of adequate studies on healthcare workers' hydration health and its impact on performance, cognition, and mental well-being. Future research should be conducted in both cross-sectional and experimental methodologies, incorporating quantifiable measures to evaluate hydration and interventions. Countries with hot climate, such as, Saudi Arabia, should lead this research agenda, given that high temperatures could amplify the effects of inadequate hydration.
