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
backgroundThe nursing workforce remains in a vulnerable state post pandemic as working conditions are difficult and exacerbated by a global nursing shortage. Identifying factors leading to turnover intentions are thus critical for health care system recovery. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of nurses' work environment and the pandemic on missed nursing care, scope of practice, emotional exhaustion, and intent to leave.
methodsThis study was a cross-sectional, self-reporting online survey, sent to hospital-based nurses in a Canadian province (n = 419). Mediation analysis was used to examine both direct and indirect effects of work environment and COVID-19 impact on nurse outcomes (emotional exhaustion and intent to leave) through missed care and scope of practice.
resultsThe results showed that 73% of nurses were considering leaving the profession. Several direct and indirect pathways predicted emotional exhaustion and intent to leave. A better work environment was related to both decreased emotional exhaustion and intent to leave. Nurses' scope of practice partially mediated the relationship between work environment and intent to leave. On the other hand, missed care did not mediate emotional exhaustion or intent to leave.
conclusionsWhile considering the global nursing shortage, it is imperative to implement strategies to promote nurses' well-being and their retention within the health care system.
