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

Nurses working in Intensive Care Units are prone to burnout and low job satisfaction which can be caused by stress. This cross-sectional study aimed to quantify the magnitude of stress among new graduate nurses working in ICUs. A survey was conducted between May and July 2023 at the 11 adult and pediatric ICUs in King Saud Medical City, Riyadh (KSMC-R). Using convenience sampling, 189 participants were recruited. A significant difference was found in the mean total Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)-10 and Expanded Nursing Stress Scale (ENSS)- 10 scores between the males and females. In the subscales, significant differences were seen between the workload and gender, age group, and type of ICU and in the mean inadequate emotional preparation scores and age group and marital status, type of ICU (adult/pediatric), and the different types of ICU. The survey showed that the major factors that caused stress among the new graduate nurses were discrimination, problems with supervisors, workload, problems with peer support, uncertainty concerning treatment, and dealing with patients and their families.
