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 confront high-stress, high-stakes work environments due to evolving disease patterns and growing healthcare needs. The nurse-patient ratio in Taiwan is higher than in other countries, necessitating effective strategies to mitigate nurse burnout and enhance the quality of patient care. Design: A cross-sectional study design was employed. Methods: From January to April 2019, 500 nurses were recruited from a medical center in Kaohsiung City, southern Taiwan. Participants completed a questionnaire addressing workplace social support, stressors faced by nurses, and job burnout. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, one-way analysis of variance, Results: The findings revealed that a portion of nurses experienced high rates of personal burnout (7.20%), work-related burnout (5.00%), and client-related burnout (4.80%). The relationships among workplace social support, nurses' stressors, and job burnout were all substantial, exhibiting correlation coefficients ranging from -0.318 to 0.828. The direct effect of nurse stress on job burnout was 0.551, comprising 90.7% of the cumulative effect. In contrast, the indirect effect of nurse stress on job burnout, considering workplace social support, amounted to 9.3% of the total effect, with a value of 0.056. Conclusions: The study underscored the importance of addressing job burnout among nurses in Taiwan. Workplace social support may function as a mediating factor in the relationship between nurses' stressors and job burnout.
