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

Background: Moral distress defined as an incident that prevents the appropriate functioning of individuals in spite of having the required knowledge. Nurses are commonly exposed to moral distress while doing their professional roles, which can influence the quality of their work life. The present study aimed to assess the relationship between the moral distress intensity and work life quality amongst nurses. Methods: In this descriptive-correlational study, 180 nurses working in oncology wards were selected through census based on inclusion criteria (associate or higher degrees, having at least six months of clinical work experience, and not suffering from anxiety disorders). The data were collected using Corley's questionnaire (2001) and Brooks' investigation of work life quality of nurses (2001). Then, the data were entered into the SPSS 22 software and were analyzed using the Independent Sample Results: The nurses' mean scores of moral distress and work life quality were 136.63 ± 27.39 and 133.83 ± 25.40, respectively. The results revealed a negative significant relationship between the nurses' moral distress and work life quality ( Conclusion: Identifying the moral distress intensity and work life quality of nurses and proper planning from the authorities can improve job satisfaction in nurses and resulting to higher quality of care.
