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

aimThis study establishes the mediating roles of job satisfaction and organizational identification on the relationship between nurses' workload and their intention to leave.

backgroundThe shortage of nurses is a prevalent global concern. International studies have shown that many variables are associated with nurses' intention to leave. There is a shortage of literature on some of these variables, which this study is designed to address.

methodsThis study employs a descriptive, exploratory, and correlational design. It was conducted with 373 nurses from seven different hospitals in Turkey. The Workload Scale, the Minnesota Work Satisfaction Scale, the Organizational Identification Scale, and the Intention to Leave Scale were applied in the study.

resultsThe structural equation model shows that the workload of nurses has a negative effect on work satisfaction (β = -0.74; p < 0.001) and organizational identification (β = -0.24; p < 0.001) and a positive impact on intention to leave (β = 0.30; p < 0.001). In addition, work satisfaction (β = -0.32; p < 0.001) and organizational identification (β = -0.24; p < 0.001 were found to affect the intention to leave negatively intention to leave. After the bootstrapping process, the indirect effect was found to be significant. DISCUSSION/

conclusionsThe research findings indicate that work satisfaction and organizational identification mediate the correlation between nurses' workload and their intention to leave. The findings highlight the need for precautions by revealing the risks of nursing shortages anticipated both today and in the future. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING POLICY: In the global nursing crisis, healthcare managers and policymakers must develop strategies to protect the nursing workforce. Policymakers should make sustainable decisions by conducting national self-assessments on the impact of workload, job satisfaction, and organizational identification on intention to leave to retain nurses.
