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
aimTo investigate the relationship between authoritarian leadership and burnout for young nurses in China and the mediating role of organizational climate and psychological capital in this relationship.
backgroundAs the backbone of clinical nursing, young nurses are prone to job burnout due to the tedious work and the intense work intensity of clinical nursing. It is critical to pay close attention to young nurse burnout to elevate nursing quality and patient satisfaction.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was carried out. From November to December 2022, 1,160 nurses from 4 hospitals in Henan, China participated in the survey. Pearson correlation analysis, descriptive statistics and structural equation model were used to analyze the existing data.
resultsAuthoritarian leadership (r = 0.502, P < 0.01) has a significant positive correlation with burnout, while organizational climate (r = -0.556, P < 0.01) and psychological capital (r = -0.538, P < 0.01) show significant negative correlations with burnout. Organizational climate and psychological capital serve as a chain mediating role between authoritarian leadership and burnout (β = 0.061, 95% CI (0.038, 0.086)). The total effect of authoritarian leadership on burnout (0.297) includes direct effect (0.338) and indirect effect (-0.042).
conclusionsOrganizational climate and psychological capital play a chain mediating role in the relationship between authoritarian leadership and burnout. The results show that nursing managers need to fully understand the disadvantages of authoritarian leadership, adjust relevant behaviors in time, and learn to care for and respect employees. Additionally, from the hospital's organizational climate and young nurses' psychological capital, the implementation of targeted management measures to alleviate nurses' burnout and improve the quality of nursing service.
