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.
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
backgroundWhile the relationship between perceived stress and job satisfaction is well-established, the underlying mechanisms, particularly the roles of job burnout and psychological capital, have not been thoroughly examined in nurse managers.
objectiveThis study aims to examine how job burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment) mediates the relationship between perceived stress and job satisfaction, and to assess the moderating role of psychological capital in these pathways.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with nurse managers from 20 hospitals in Henan Province, China. Participants completed validated questionnaires, including the Perceived Stress Scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory, Psychological Capital Questionnaire, and Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire. Moderated mediation analyses were performed using SPSS PROCESS Model 59 to explore the hypothesized relationships.
resultsA total of 784 nurse managers participated. The mean job satisfaction score was 78.06 (SD 12.03). All three dimensions of job burnout significantly mediated the association between perceived stress and job satisfaction. Psychological capital moderated both the direct and indirect effects in the pathways "perceived stress → emotional exhaustion → job satisfaction" and "perceived stress → depersonalization → job satisfaction," as well as the second stage of the "perceived stress → personal accomplishment → job satisfaction" pathway.
conclusionThese findings suggest that job burnout is a critical mediator in the relationship between perceived stress and job satisfaction, with psychological capital serving as an important moderator. Enhancing psychological capital may help reduce the negative impact of stress and burnout on job satisfaction, offering valuable insights for improving healthcare management practices.
