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

purposeThis study aims to examine how care professionals of different occupational groups perceive organizational conditions for voice behavior and whether these conditions are related to job satisfaction and retention as was experienced at nursing home (NH) facilities. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: An online survey study was conducted among care professionals, (middle) managers and policy officers of 175 Dutch nursing home (NH) facilities (

findingsCertified nurse assistants (CNAs) and registered nurses (RNs) were more critical about the organizational conditions than other respondents from the same NH facility. Linear mixed effect models showed that organizational conditions were positively related to job satisfaction and perceived employee retention ( PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: It is important that leaders realize that their own perspectives may not correspond with those of frontline care workers. This emphasizes the importance of capturing different perspectives on organizational conditions and the important role of middle managers who are in the position to create stimulating working environments to retain care professionals for NH care. ORIGINALITY/VALUE: This study has the unique opportunity to examine the relation between organizational conditions and job satisfaction among different occupational groups in Dutch NHs. Showing that care professionals were considerably more critical about the conditions and their job satisfaction compared to management and policy officers.
