Prevalence and associated factors of workplace violence among Chinese nurses in tertiary hospitals: a national cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundWorkplace violence (WPV) is a major issue for nurses worldwide, causing both physical and mental harm, and impairing their ability to work effectively. Several researches reported on the prevalence of WPV among nurses in China, ranging from 56.4 to 71%. However, little information is available about the correlates of different types of WPV among nurses across different departments in tertiary hospitals in China.
methodsA self-designed WeChat-based questionnaire was utilized, incorporating demographic and occupational factors. WPV was measured using the Chinese version Workplace Violence Scale. Two questions regarding career choices were employed to assess career satisfaction. Descriptive analyses, chi-square tests, and bivariate logistic regression analysis were conducted.
results122,237 participants were included in the analysis. 26.6% of them experienced at least one form of WPV in the past year. Male sex, shift work, postgraduate education, senior professional title, department, and working more than 50 h per week were factors associated with WPV. Nurses encountered high levels of WPV were less likely to be satisfied with their nursing career.
conclusionsWPV is a special concern for Chinese nurses. Interventions to reduce WPV should be conducted by health authorities to create a zero-violence working environment for nurses, and to increase their career satisfaction. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
