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

backgroundOrganizational socialization is a significant factor in new graduate nurses' transition from students to professional nursing roles. However, there is a lack of understanding about the impact of external influences such as community and societal conditions. This study aimed to examine personal, community, and societal conditions on the organizational socialization of new graduate nurses.

methodsNew graduate nurses with two years or less experience at South Korean national university-affiliated hospitals participated in the survey. The main outcome variable was organizational socialization, with potential factors including personal conditions (grit, confusion in professional nursing values), community conditions (social support), and societal conditions (perceived social awareness of nurses, job opportunities). Bivariate analyses and multiple linear regression were conducted to determine the associations between organizational socialization and these factors.

resultsThe final analysis included 262 responses, with a mean (SD) age of 24.32 (2.42) years. Most participants were female (91.60%), held a bachelor of science in nursing degree (91.98%), and were in their first nursing position (88.55%). The average (SD) duration of employment at the current hospital was 7.90 (2.56). Organizational socialization averaged 3.07 (SD = 0.36) out of 5. The results of the multiple regression analysis indicated that grit (coefficient = 0.24, p <.001), confusion in professional nursing values (coefficient = -0.18, p <.001), social support (coefficient = 0.09, p =.01), perceived social awareness of nurses (coefficient = 0.06, p =.03), and gender (female) (coefficient = -0.19, p =.002), were significantly associated with new graduate nurses' organizational socialization, accounting for 49% of the variance.

conclusionThe findings showed significant associations between new graduate nurses' organizational socialization and personal (grit, confusions in professional nursing values), community (social support) and societal (perceived social awareness of nurses) conditions. These findings may offer insights for developing effective educational and training programs to improve new graduate nurses' organizational socialization and transition.
