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

Background: With ongoing healthcare system reforms in China and escalating demands for emergency services, emergency nurses frequently face high-pressure, complex work environments. This increases their psychological burden. Additionally, limited healthcare resources at the grassroots level and high workloads heighten their vulnerability to compassion fatigue. Current research into the interplay between psychological capital, perceived organizational support, and compassion fatigue among emergency nurses is limited, particularly regarding the mediating role of psychological capital. Objective: This study aims to explore the relationship between organizational support, psychological capital, and compassion fatigue among emergency nurses. It specifically investigates the mediating role of psychological capital in the relationship between organizational support and compassion fatigue. Methods: A total of 466 emergency nurses from medical institutions in the Chengdu-Chongqing area were selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using the Psychological Capital Questionnaire, the Sense of Organizational Support Scale, and the Compassion Fatigue Scale. The correlations among these variables were analyzed using SPSS 26.0, and the mediating effects were tested using AMOS 26.0. Results: There is a significant negative correlation between psychological capital and compassion fatigue among emergency nurses ( Conclusion: The findings indicate a significant association between psychological capital, perceived organizational support, and compassion fatigue among emergency nurses, with psychological capital playing a mediating role. Enhancing psychological capital and perceived organizational support for emergency nurses is an effective strategy for managing emotional stress at work. Healthcare institutions should implement targeted interventions to improve nursing service quality and promote the sustainable development of the nursing profession.
