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

aimThis study explored workplace satisfaction for nurses employed in the supplementary employment models.

designA qualitative descriptive methodology was used.

methodsData were collected using individual semi-structured interviews with 10 nurses employed in supplementary employment models. A thematic analysis was used.

findingsAnalysis revealed four key themes related to job satisfaction: (1) Professional development, education, and training shape job satisfaction; (2) The influence of variability in work practice environments; (3) Distant work relationships affect communication and organisational support and (4) Work flexibility. These themes collectively illustrate the complex interplay of factors impacting nurses' experiences and job satisfaction in supplementary employment.

conclusionsSupplementary employment models provide nurses with valuable flexibility and employment opportunities. However, there are barriers for nurses in communicating with organisational leadership through formal channels and in their contribution to improve the work environment and team culture with wards and departments. To improve job satisfaction for nurses employed in supplementary roles, strategies are needed to enhance access to education and training, strengthen communication and connection with clinical teams and leadership, and establish effective feedback mechanisms.
