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

backgroundThe relationship between workplace ostracism and innovative work behavior is a relatively new area of research. How ostracism influences nurses' willingness to suggest new ideas or adopt innovative practices is not fully understood. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the level and predictors of quality of nursing care and evaluate its correlation with workplace ostracism and innovative work behavior.

methodsA cross-sectional correlational descriptive study involving 266 conveniently sampled nurses was conducted in three public hospitals in Hail City, Saudi Arabia. This study followed the STROBE Checklist. Data were collected using a questionnaire that included three tools: Workplace Ostracism Scale, Innovative Work Behavior Scale, and Quality of Nursing Care Scale. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationships between study variables. Furthermore, multiple linear regression analysis was conducted using innovative work behavior and gender as independent variables. Statistical significance was set at a p-value of < 0.05.

resultsThe ostracism level was high among the nurses (50.38%), half of them had a negative IWB (51.10%), and (41.40%) had a mild level of quality of care. Ostracism was negatively and significantly correlated with the quality of care (rs=-0.159, p = 0.009) and IWB (rs=-0.146, p = 0.017). Furthermore, IWB among nurses was positively correlated with the quality of care (rs = 0.376, p < 0.001). Multiple linear regression revealed that the IWB was considered a significant factor in the quality of care (B = 0.187) at p-value < 0.001. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: This study found a negative relationship between workplace ostracism and innovative work behavior, which shows that nursing may seek innovation as a way of dealing with stressful exclusion circumstances. It was set up that the "idea sustainability" dimension of innovative work behavior is the most dominant predictor of the sustainability of nursing care's quality, which underlines the need to build on innovative ideas for improvement in nursing quality of care. To improve nurses' performance, health organizations must focus on strategies that block workplace ostracism and integrate innovative work behaviors in their nurses.
