"Negative Energy Magnetic Field": A Descriptive Qualitative Study on Occupational Stressors among Chinese Hospice Nurses.
Article in Journal of nursing management, 2024. 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
Methods: A descriptive qualitative approach was used. We conducted semistructured interviews with 30 hospice nurses from 14 cities in China between August 2023 and February 2024. Data were analyzed using conventional content analysis. The study adhered to the COREQ checklist for reporting. Results: Hospice nurses perceived themselves as immersed in a persistent "negative energy magnetic field," emphasizing the pervasive stress they experienced in their work. There are four different levels of occupational stressors among Chinese hospice nurses: (1) individual-level stressors such as difficulty in managing physical symptoms, dealing with futile resuscitations, and struggling with emotional boundaries; (2) organizational-level stressors encompassing insufficient financial support and human resources, negative leadership behaviors, and conflicting philosophies in healthcare; (3) societal-level stressors involving challenges such as avoidance of conversations about death, pragmatism, and implicit communication modes; and (4) acute stressors including patient suicide and sudden patient death
