Newly Graduated Nurses' Experiences Regarding Job Readiness and Their Development of Professional Authority: A Qualitative Study.
Article in SAGE open nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Introduction: The World Health Organization has identified a shortfall of nurses. There is a risk that newly graduated nurses will leave the profession only a few years after completing their education. Little is known regarding the newly graduated nurses' experiences of practical readiness and development of professional authority during their first year of working. Objectives: To explore newly graduated nurses' experiences related to their practical readiness and their development of professional authority. Methods: Qualitative design. Data was collected from March to April in 2022. The data consist of eight individual interviews with nurses who had been working for almost one year. The data was analysed using Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis. Results: Two themes were constructed: Ready or not, and being responsible with or without decision-making authority. The experience of preparedness was related to handling clinical judgement, clinical skills and nursing knowledge. The participants found their role in interdisciplinary cooperation challenging. Conclusion: The nurses who felt prepared exhibited competence that integrated their personal abilities with clinical judgment, allowing them to apply their skills and knowledge across diverse situations. The participants revealed a discrepancy between perceived responsibility and the level of professional authority that resulted in frustration and a sense of being professionally overshadowed.
