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: Job satisfaction is a key determinant of healthcare provider performance and well-being, influencing both organizational effectiveness and the quality of patient care. In tertiary care settings, nursing and support staff often face high workloads and complex demands that may affect satisfaction levels. This study aimed to assess job satisfaction among healthcare providers in two tertiary government hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and to examine differences across professional roles and satisfaction domains. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 135 healthcare providers at King Khalid University Hospital and Prince Sultan Military Medical City (February-March 2025). Job satisfaction was assessed using a validated 36-item structured questionnaire adapted from Deshmukh et al. (2023), covering nine core domains. Descriptive statistics summarized participant characteristics and satisfaction scores. Chi-square tests examined associations between categorical variables and satisfaction levels, independent samples Results: Physicians reported the highest mean job satisfaction (173.4 ± 21.2), followed by nurses (169.8 ± 18.7) and support staff (165.2 ± 20.5). The highest satisfaction was observed in the 31-40-year age group (84.5%). Fringe benefits (mean = 19.96) and contingent rewards (17.23 ± 3.87) were the top-rated satisfaction domains. Nurses demonstrated moderate satisfaction, identifying areas for managerial attention. Conclusion: The study demonstrates variations in job satisfaction across healthcare provider roles and domains, indicating that satisfaction is influenced by both professional and demographic factors. These findings provide a basis for future organizational strategies aimed at improving healthcare workforce well-being.
