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

Background: Nurses' job satisfaction directly impacts their attitudes and efficiency at work. This study aimed to identify the factors influencing job satisfaction among nursing professionals in China. Methods: This cross-sectional study utilized an online questionnaire to assess the job satisfaction, work conditions, and sociodemographic characteristics of nursing professionals in China. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, Spearman correlation analysis, and linear regression analysis. Results: The study collected 605 questionnaires from 38 hospitals and nursing homes in Nantong. Among them, 599 were valid responses, resulting in a validity rate of 99%. The majority of participants were aged 51-60 (43.14%) and were female (91.65%). The multivariate model results indicated that age, work location, and policy understanding significantly influenced overall job satisfaction. Specifically, the 51-60 age group and those aged ≥61 had a positive impact on overall satisfaction compared to the ≤30 age group ( Conclusion: This study found that age, workplace, and policy understanding are factors influencing the job satisfaction of nursing staff. Therefore, corresponding measures should be taken for young nurses and those working in nursing homes, such as improving welfare benefits and reducing work pressure, to enhance their job satisfaction. In addition, training for all nursing staff should be strengthened to improve their understanding of relevant policies, thereby increasing job satisfaction and retention rates. This will help better meet the growing demand for nursing services.
