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

aimTo examine the direct and indirect predictors of thriving at work and its impact on intention to leave the organisation or profession among early career nurses.

designA repeated cross-sectional design.

methodsA sub-study of early career nurses as part of an Australian longitudinal follow up study, commenced in 2018, was conducted. The sub-study asked early career nurses between their second and sixth year after graduating to complete a structured online questionnaire assessing thriving at work and several predictor variables. Data were analysed using Pearson's correlation, multiple linear regression, and path analysis.

resultsAmong the 67 participants (response rate of 42.9%), thriving at work was positively correlated with occupational hardiness, social support from colleagues, and wellbeing, while negatively correlated with compassion fatigue. Thriving at work and perceived organisational support were the significant predictors of intention to leave the organisation, while perceived organisational support was the only significant predictor of intention to leave the profession.

conclusionThe importance of strong collegial relationships, compassion fatigue, and improving wellbeing to enhance thriving at work are highlighted. Fostering an environment where employees can thrive is crucial to reduce the intentions to leave an organisation. Relationships with the managers and quality of care provision also play a crucial role in reducing turnover and leave intentions. Perceived organisational support enhances employee wellbeing, thereby reducing turnover intentions. Future strategies should focus on comprehensive support systems to retain nurses in their organisation and the profession. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION: Enhancing thriving at work and perceived organisational support can reduce early career nurses' intention to leave their organisation. However, job stressors and interpersonal conflicts also influence professional leave decisions. REPORTING
