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

backgroundNurses, especially female nurses, play key roles in both the family and the health care workplace. Thus, work-family conflict is a key issue in nursing management. However, little is known about the impact of supervisors' controlling behaviour on work-family conflict among nurses.

methodA cross-sectional study was conducted from June to September 2023. The sample on which the study focused included 684 frontline nurses working in 2 hospitals in Shanxi Province, China. We used correlation analysis and the PROCESS macro for SPSS software to test our hypotheses.

resultsThe results showed that perceived supervisor psychological control positively affects nurses' work-family conflict by frustrating their basic psychological needs. Moreover, nurses' psychological detachment moderates this mediated effect.

conclusionsHospital managers should be aware of the fact that psychological control on the part of leadership may be harmful to nurses' ability to cope with work-family conflict. Nurse managers should try to establish conditions that are conducive to satisfying rather than frustrating nurses' basic psychological needs and provide nurses with ways of detaching themselves psychologically from their work to help them decrease their work-family conflict. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
