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

Background: Ergonomic hazards are a growing concern among nursing professionals due to their association with musculoskeletal disorders and occupational injuries. Objective: This study aimed to assess the knowledge, perceptions, and practices of undergraduate nursing students regarding ergonomic hazards during clinical training. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among nursing students at the University of Bisha, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected using a structured, self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Students demonstrated moderate knowledge about ergonomic hazards and generally positive perceptions of ergonomic importance. However, their actual ergonomic practices were inconsistent, especially during clinical procedures involving patient handling. Conclusion: While students are aware of ergonomic risks, gaps in practice highlight the need for targeted training. Ergonomic education should be incorporated into nursing curricula to promote safe clinical behaviors and prevent injuries.
