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

backgroundNurses, like other healthcare workers, are prone to poorer mental health, increased burnout, and may have an increased risk of suicide. PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate mental health problems among Lithuanian nurses and explore factors associated with them.

methodThe survey was completed by 533 nurses. Mental health was assessed using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21, and suicidal ideation was measured with the Suicidal Behaviours Questionnaire-Revised (SBQ-R).

findingsA large proportion of nurses in the study had high psychological distress, with 18% having high depression, 29.3% - high anxiety, and 17.1% - high stress. 21.2% of the sample had an increased suicide risk. 64.9% of nurses considered changing their careers to a non-medical profession in the last 12 months. DISCUSSION: Addressing mental health issues in the national healthcare system is critical to avoiding the loss of valued medical community members and ensuring that patients do not lose their critical caretakers.
