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
introductionHigh employee turnover has become a significant global challenge, especially within the healthcare sector. The most significant indicator of employee turnover is turnover intention, which reflects an employee's inclination to leave their current job. This issue is particularly concerning within health regulatory bodies, which are entrusted with upholding healthcare standards and ensuring the delivery of quality care. Nevertheless, research assessing turnover intention within this group remains absent in Ethiopia.
objectiveThis study aimed to assess turnover intention and associated factors among employees of regional and city health regulatory bodies in Ethiopia.
methodsA cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted to examine turnover intention among regional and city health regulatory bodies. Data were collected between October 1 and November 30, 2023, and then rigorously cleaned and processed in Epi Data version 4.2 before being transferred to SPSS version 26 for advanced analysis. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression were conducted, yielding key metrics, such as percentages and odds ratios, which formed a solid foundation for interpreting the study's findings.
resultsTurnover intentions were reported by 55.5% of the 418 participants. In the adjusted model, significant factors associated with turnover intention were having fewer than two family members (AOR = 6.077), working in a city other than one's family residence (AOR = 3.241), living apart from one's spouse and/or children (AOR = 2.040), dissatisfaction with salary (AOR = 7.021) or organization (AOR = 2.705), and, as a protective factor, the lack of adequate educational infrastructure for one's children (AOR = 0.411).
conclusionA significant proportion of health personnel working in regional and city health regulatory agencies in Ethiopia exhibited turnover intention. Addressing this issue requires targeted interventions that focus on improving employee salaries, enhancing organizational environments, and supporting employees to achieve work-life balance.
