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

backgroundWorkplace violence represents a critical and alarming crisis in healthcare settings around the globe. This study seeks to shed light on the experiences of Jordanian nurses working in emergency departments, focusing on the forms of workplace violence they encounter, their emotional responses, and their coping strategies.

methodsUtilizing a qualitative descriptive design, we engaged a purposive sample of 24 nurses from two public hospital emergency departments. Data were gathered through in-depth, semi-structured interviews, and analyzed using the seven-step Colaizzi method. Four main powerful themes emerged from the interviews:: (1) the shocking and harsh experience of nurses with WPV, (2) the negative consequences of WPV, (3) nurses feelings toward their experience of WPV, and (4) coping strategies for dealing with WPV.

conclusionThe ramifications of workplace violence on nurses' physical and mental health are profound, significantly influencing their intentions to remain in their positions. It is imperative for nursing policymakers and hospital leaders to take decisive action against workplace violence. Effective anti-workplace violence policies must be rigorously enforced by hospital authorities to safeguard the health and well-being of emergency nurses, thereby fostering a safer and more supportive healthcare environment for all.
