The Role of Schedule Volatility in Home Health Nursing Turnover.
Article in Medical care research and review : MCRR, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Despite considerable research on nursing turnover, few studies have considered turnover among nurses working in home health care. Using novel administrative data from one of the largest home health care organizations in the United States, this study examined turnover among home health nurses, focusing on the role of schedule volatility. We estimated separation rates among full-time and part-time registered nurses and licensed practical nurses and used daily visit logs to estimate schedule volatility, which was defined as the coefficient of variation of the number of daily visits in the prior four weeks. Between 2016 and 2019, the average annual separation rate of home health nurses was over 30%, with most separations occurring voluntarily. Schedule volatility and turnover were positively associated for full-time nurses, but not for part-time nurses. These results suggest that reducing schedule volatility for full-time nurses could mitigate nursing turnover in home health care.
