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

backgroundJob satisfaction is significantly associated with retention. Although several factors are associated with job satisfaction and retention (pay, leadership, mentorship), the association of demographic characteristics has been understudied in the literature. PURPOSE: To explore whether professional role and demographic characteristics are associated with job satisfaction and intent to stay among nurses and physicians in a military medical center.

methodsWe conducted a descriptive, exploratory, cross-sectional study, and collected data via surveys. We used multiple regression to evaluate study variables.

resultsTwo hundred and eighty-nine participants completed the survey. Professional role and demographic characteristics were not associated with job satisfaction. Professional role, race, and education were associated with intent to stay for military respondents. Physicians (β = 0.53, p = .0259) and Caucasians (β = -0.55, p = .0172) reported lower intent to stay; respondents with graduate degrees reported higher intent to stay (β = 2.47, p = .0045). Professional role and demographic characteristics were not associated with intent to stay for civilians.

conclusionJob satisfaction and retention of nurses and physicians are critical to the quality of care. Civilian and military healthcare leaders should focus on interventions that enhance job satisfaction and retention as a strategy to improve patient and staff outcomes alike.
