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

backgroundHemodialysis (HD) nurses are facing significant physiological and psychological pressures. These pressures increase their risk of resignation. This study explored the impact of work-family support, work engagement, and career success on the turnover intention of HD nurses.

methodsThe study based on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model. As a job resource, work-family support can mitigate the negative impact of high job demands. Work-family support also promotes positive outcomes, such as enhancing work engagement and career success. Work engagement further contributes to career success, which in turn reduces turnover intention.This was a cross-sectional study. In July 2024, a total of 397 nurses were recruited from 50 dialysis centers in Liaoning Province, using convenience sampling. They were investigated by Work-Family Support Scale, Work Engagement Scale, Career Success Scale and Intention of Quitting Scale. A total of 308 valid questionnaires were analyzed. The valid response rate was 77.78%. HD nurses' turnover intention score was (12.31 ± 3.65). The turnover intention of nurses in the northeast region of China was relatively optimistic. Work-family support had significant predictive effect on turnover intention (β= -0.664, P < 0.05), and it had negative predictive effect. Moreover, after adding mediator variables, work engagement and career success, work-family support still significantly predicted turnover intention (β = -0.368, P < 0.05); work engagement had significant negative predictive effect on turnover intention (β = -0.067, P < 0.05); career success had significant negative predictive effect on turnover intention (β = -0.288, P < 0.05).

conclusionsWork-family support can not only directly affect the turnover intention of HD nurses, but also indirectly affect the turnover intention through work engagement and career success. Nursing managers should embrace family-supportive leadership behaviors and adopt a transformational leadership style. By fostering work engagement and advancing career success, they can effectively reduce turnover intention among HD nurses.
