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

backgroundThe literature analysis has shown the risk of victimization in nursing professions. To date, very few studies have focused on the behavioral differences characterizing the stalking campaign, the consequences (physical and emotive), and the coping strategies adopted by victims (male and female nurses).

objectivesThe aim of this work was to compare the victimization experience of men and women working as nurses in public hospitals.

methods2.154 nurses were asked to fill a self-administered questionnaire and 765 (35.5%) filled it. Victims were 221 (29.8%), 172 (77.8%) female and 49 (22.2%) male.

resultsFindings show that the stalker is generally a man in the case of a female victim (76.2%) and a woman in the case of a male victim (71.4%). For both, the stalker is in most cases an acquaintance (for female victims=37.8%; for male victims=36.7%) who stalked for about one year. Stalking behavior causes in male nurses more physical symptoms (sleep and weakness disorders, respectively χ2=4.62, p=.024 and χ2=4.14, p=.043) than in female nurses. Female nurses (who cope by increasing social contact with friends and relatives and by talking to a psychologist) experienced more sadness (χ2=15.67, p=.000) and paranoia (χ2=10.07, p=.002) than male nurses.

conclusionsPossible strategies for preventing the phenomenon are discussed, highlighting the percentage (8.2% among female victims, 5.8% among male victims) of those who have reported to the police.
