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
aimThis study explored the mediating effects of organisational justice, role ambiguity and job satisfaction on the relationship between infection control-associated fatigue and quiet quitting.
designThis study used an exploratory cross-sectional survey design.
methodsBetween 1 February and 29 February 2024, data were collected from 323 nurses-who worked in general or tertiary hospitals during the pandemic-using an online self-report questionnaire distributed via a popular nursing community platform. Path analysis was used to evaluate the mediating effect of infection control fatigue on quiet quitting.
resultsCorrelation analysis showed a negative relationship between quiet quitting and organisational justice and positive relationships with job satisfaction, role ambiguity and infection control fatigue. Infection control-associated fatigue was associated with quiet quitting (B = 0.1117, p < 0.05). Job satisfaction (IE = 0.1397, 95% confidence interval[CI]: 0.0795-0.2031) and organisational justice (IE = -0.0455, 95% CI: -0.0938 to -0.0051) mediated the relationship between infection control-associated fatigue and quiet quitting, whereas role ambiguity did not. The total indirect effect of mediators on quiet quitting was positive (IE
conclusionQuiet quitting increased among nurses experiencing infection control fatigue during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, with job satisfaction and organisational justice acting as mediators. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Increasing job satisfaction and achieving organisational justice may help improve the quality of nursing and mitigate quiet quitting. Hospitals must find ways to improve nurses' work and increase their satisfaction. No Patient or Public Contribution.
