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

Objective: This study investigated the mediating effects of psychological capital appreciation in the relationship between psychological resilience and burnout among ICU nurses. The findings aim to provide an objective reference for hospitals to enhance the occupational health of ICU nurses. Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was administered to 150 ICU nurses employed at 20 tertiary hospitals across Hebei Province. Stratified random sampling was employed in the sampling methodology, with strata defined by hospital size and ranking. Subsequently, ICU nurses were randomly selected within each stratum to enhance the representativeness of the sample. Results: (i) Among the 150 nurses, the psychological resilience score was (68.701 ± 14.549), resilience was (63.547 ± 14.020), and burnout score was (65.095 ± 18.461). (ii) The analysis revealed that psychological capital appreciation mediated the relationship between psychological resilience and burnout, with a mediation effect size of 0.597, accounting for 79% of the total effect. (iii) Psychological resilience did not directly affect job burnout (direct effect = 0.148, 95% CI includes 0, Conclusion: (i) Psychological capital appreciation (PCA) plays a complete mediating role between resilience and job burnout of ICU nurses. (ii) The overall incidence of job burnout among nurses is high, while the levels of resilience and psychological capital appreciation are at a low to medium level, which need to be improved urgently.
