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 aims to explore the relationship among adjustment disorder, emotional intelligence, and mental resilience in newly licensed registered nurses. Method: This study adopts a cross-sectional design to explore the factors influencing work adaptation and mental resilience among newly graduated nurses with <3 years of clinical experience. The research was conducted by distributing a comprehensive, multi-part questionnaire to a targeted sample of new nurses across various healthcare settings. The questionnaire was meticulously designed to capture a holistic view of the participants' personal, professional, and psychological profiles, which included the Personal and Professional Characteristics Questionnaire, the Work Adaptation Difficulties Scale, the Mental Resilience Scale, and the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Results: A total of 445 new nurses completed the questionnaire. The mean age of participants was 24.50 ± 2.77 years. Adjustment disorder negatively affected mental resilience ( Conclusion: Findings suggest that higher levels of emotional intelligence and psychological resilience contribute significantly to enhanced work adaptation and the mitigation of psychological stress among nurses. Furthermore, job satisfaction appears to be a key predictor in the onset of adjustment disorders. These results underscore the necessity for head nurses and hospital administrators to adopt proactive measures aimed at promoting the psychological well-being of nursing professionals. Targeted interventions that foster emotional resilience and job satisfaction may serve as effective strategies to prevent maladaptive adjustment outcomes in high-stress clinical environments.
