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

Objectives: We carried out two studies to contribute to the development of a shortened Italian version of the Spirit at Work Scale (I-SAWS) in healthcare and to explore SAW's mediating role between personal values (i.e., self-transcendence and self-enhancement) and both compassion satisfaction and workaholism. Methods: Study 1 involved 180 healthcare workers (HCWs) who completed I-SAWS. In this study, an exploratory factor analysis was performed. Study 2 involved 191 HCWs who completed the short version of I-SAWS (I-SAWS-9) and the Italian version of the Portrait Values Questionnaire, Professional Quality of Life Scale, and Dutch Work Addiction Scale. In this study, a confirmatory factor analysis and a structural equation model with observed variables were carried out. Results: Study 1 identified three factors, named higher mission, optimal functioning, and joint meaning. Study 2 confirmed a three-factor model with a second-order factor, supporting the validity and reliability of I-SAWS-9. Furthermore, results confirmed the mediating role of some SAW dimensions between self-transcendence and outcomes. Conclusion: While SAW's association with compassion satisfaction is established, its relationship with workaholism remains ambiguous. Limitations and practical implications are discussed.
