Using Machine Learning to Predict Resilience Among Nurses in a South African Setting.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Nursing is a stressful profession. Stress can affect the mental health of nurses. A positive response to stress, resilience, is known to be a protective factor against mental health issues. This study aimed to use machine learning with secondary data from five survey studies, conducted between 2022 and 2023, to identify factors predicting high versus low levels of resilience in South African nursing samples from the Western Cape Province, South Africa. The sample included (1134 records (male = 250, 22.0%, female = 874, 77.1%, and other = 10 (0.9%) included all data on all categories of nursing staff (student nurses (567, 50%), professional registered nurses (315, 27.8%), and non-professional nurses (246, 21.7%) who completed a survey using a response to stress scale. We used random forest analysis, demographic variables, years of experience, and a brief 4-item screen of resilience to predict resilience. The model yielded limited added value from demographic groupings in this model, but the brief screening had an overall classification accuracy of 86.41% (95% CI: 0.810; 0.908).
