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
BackgroundProvisions of reasonable workplace accommodations can support the retention of nurses and midwives with disabilities in their professional roles. However, many encounter barriers to accessing accommodations in their practice.PurposeThis review aimed to map the existing knowledge and identify gaps in literature regarding workplace accommodations for nurses and midwives with disabilities.Method and ProceduresThe scoping review adhered to JBI methodology to identify available literature on workplace accommodations in nursing and midwifery practice. A search of CINAHL, SocINDEX, PsycInfo, PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and ProQuest Dissertation identified 4160 articles. Data was extracted from 20 sources that met the eligibility criteria.ResultsWorkplace accommodations that employers were both able and unable to provide, as well as informal accommodations made by the employee, were uncovered. Key barriers included unclear processes, experiences of ableism, and self-disclosure difficulties. Alternatively, access to accommodations was facilitated by supportive and collaborative managers and colleagues.DiscussionWorkplace accommodations were found to contribute to nurses' success, yet the implementation was not without challenges. Workforce barriers must be universally addressed to improve inclusion in nurses and midwifery practice. A significant gap in research regarding accommodations in midwifery was found. Further research on strategies to promote accessibility in nursing and midwifery internationally is needed, with focus on Canada where literature was limited.ConclusionEffective provision of workplace accommodations requires clear policies, processes, and communication, which is currently lacking. A streamlined process would help to reduce absenteeism and retain nurses and midwives with disabilities.
