Changes over 10 years in the nursing workforce in Guangdong province, China: Three-wave multisite surveys.
Article in Journal of nursing management, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
aimsThe study aimed to describe the changes in the nursing workforce in 2008-2018 in Guangdong province, China.
backgroundA strong nursing workforce is important in the development of the health care system in China. However, whether the nursing workforce in China has improved is underexplored.
methodsThree waves of surveys were conducted in hospitals in Guangdong province, China, in 2008, 2014 and 2018.
findingsThe proportion of less experienced nurses and nurses holding a bachelor's degree has increased. The hospital nurse-to-patient ratio did not change significantly. The work environment deteriorated from 2008 to 2014 and improved from 2014 to 2018. Nurse-perceived staffing adequacy and nurses participating in hospital administration were scored lowest. The nurse-physician relations declined from 2008 to 2018. Nurse satisfaction, retention and quality of care improved, while reduced personal accomplishment deteriorated.
conclusionThe nursing workforce in Guangdong province, China, is young and highly educated. Nurse outcomes and quality of care have made progress from 2008 to 2018. Nurse staffing and burnout remain matters of concern. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Strategies addressing nursing workforce issues in China include dealing with the nursing shortage, establishing pathways for nurses' participation in decision-making, increasing nurses' income and welfare, promoting recognition of nurses and improving the quality of care.
