Effects of group psychological counselling on transition shock in newly graduated nurses: A quasi-experimental study.
Trial report in Journal of nursing management, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
aimThis study examined the effects of group psychological counselling on transition shock in newly graduated nurses.
backgroundNewly graduated nurses are often faced with transition shock as they enter the workforce. Helping them adapt to the new work environment and role as quickly as possible is an important goal for nursing managers.
methodThis prospective, parallel-group, quasi-experimental trial enrolled 71 newly graduated nurses who were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 38) or control (n = 41) group. In addition to routine hospital training, the intervention group received psychological counselling. Participants were evaluated with the Transition Shock Scale of Newly Graduated Nurses before (pre) and after (post) the training with or without intervention.
resultsThe total score and score on each dimension of the scale were decreased after the intervention (P < .05); control subjects showed no difference between pre- and post-scores. The total score and score on each dimension were higher in the control group than in the intervention group (P < .05).
conclusionPsychological counselling alleviates transition shock in newly graduated nurses entering the workforce. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nursing managers can introduce group psychological counselling into their training programmes to increase the job readiness of newly graduated nurses.
