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
backgroundHospitals in industrialized countries like Germany face persistent shortages of nursing professionals, making staff retention through affective organizational commitment essential. However, factors associated with this commitment among nursing professionals in German hospitals remain understudied. Guided by affective events theory and the job demands-resources model, this study examines the associations between key job resources, job demands, and nursing professionals' affective organizational commitment in general wards.
methodsTo investigate the relationships between job resources and demands and affective organizational commitment of nursing professionals, this study employed a cross-sectional survey. The dataset for analyses comprised 312 nursing professionals working in general wards in Germany and was analyzed using multiple linear regression.
resultsThe investigated variables explained 44% of the variance in nursing professionals' affective organizational commitment. Fair and authentic management was positively associated with affective commitment, while work overload and inadequate remuneration showed negative associations. No significant relationships emerged for other examined job resources, such as supervisor support or job autonomy, or for job demands like work-life interference.
conclusionsThese findings align with theoretical perspectives suggesting that specific job resources and demands may play a role in nursing professionals' affective organizational commitment. Based on the observed associations between job resources and demands and affective organizational commitment, this study offers considerations for hospital management. Three areas might warrant management attention: cultivating fair, authentic, and moral leadership practices among nurse managers; systematically mitigating work overload; and ensuring attractive remuneration packages. Future research, particularly longitudinal or experimental studies, is needed to further investigate the causal relationships underlying the observed associations.
