How Shift Work Impacts on Eating Behaviours Among Nurses: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Nursing open, 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
aimTo evaluate differences in eating behaviours between nurses working exclusively daytime shifts and those engaged in night shift work.
backgroundA growing body of evidence suggests that night shift work exposed nurses to an increased risk of chronic conditions, including diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease and cancer.
designAn online cross-sectional study was conducted in May 2022.
methodsNurses were recruited through their social media pages on Facebook and Instagram.
resultsA total of 408 Italian nurses participated in the study. Of these, 26.7% worked exclusively daytime shifts (morning and afternoon), while 73.3% also worked night shifts. The majority of participants in both groups were younger than 40 years. Nurses working night shifts more frequently reported shorter professional experience, with < 5 years (daily: 8.1%; night: 25.7%) and < 10 years (daily: 2.2%; night: 21.3%) of employment (p < 0.001) and were more often employed on a full-time basis (p = 0.004). In contrast, a significant difference emerged in snack consumption between main meals (p = 0.002), with nurses working night shifts reporting a higher frequency of snacking (49.8%) compared with those working exclusively daytime shifts (22.3%). IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Nurses working daytime shifts reported higher snack consumption compared with their night shift counterparts. Further research will be necessary to examine the nutritional composition of snacks and overall meal frequency. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
