Novice nurse practitioners' employment decisions and role transition experiences during COVID-19.
Article in Journal of professional nursing : official journal of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundWhile it is known how the COVID-19 pandemic affected providers already employed and working in health care settings, there is little data about the effect it may have had on novice nurse practitioners (NPs). PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to describe novice NPs' employment decisions and role transition experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic.
methodVia an online survey, novice NPs were asked open-ended questions about how the pandemic influenced the decision to take their first position and their role transition experience, as well as what employers did well or could have done better to facilitate this transition.
findingsParticipants described employment challenges that included a difficult job market with limited employment opportunities, decreased pay and benefits, fewer onboarding and mentorship opportunities, and less primary care experience. However, NPs reported the pandemic positively influenced their role transition experiences with decreased patient workload and greater use of telehealth.
conclusionNovice NPs were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in making employment decisions and transitioning into the NP role.
