The relationship between ego depletion and work alienation in Chinese nurses: A network analysis.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Objectives: To investigate the network structure of ego depletion and work alienation in Chinese nurses and identify bridge items to provide suggestions to reduce ego depletion and work alienation. Methods: A total of 353 nurses from three hospitals were enrolled in our cross-sectional study by convenience sampling from June to October 2021 in China. They completed an online survey, which included the Sociodemographic Questionnaire, Nurses' Work Alienation Questionnaire, and Self-Regulating Fatigue Scale (SRF-S). The R packages qgraph, networktools, and bootnet were used to estimate the network model and calculate the indices. Results: The correlation between ego depletion and work alienation was mainly positive. The correlation between "Sometimes I do not know what to do with the work instructions from my superiors" and "I have difficulties remembering things" was the strongest among the cross-community correlations ( Conclusion: Nurses' ego depletion and work alienation are correlated. "Sometimes I do not know what to do with the work instructions from my superiors," "I always feel like a loser" and "I have difficulties remembering things" act as bridges between ego depletion and work alienation communities, and should be the focus of nurses' psychological tests. Our study provides potential targets for interventions to reduce work alienation from the perspective of ego depletion.
