Associations Between Intention to Leave, Job Satisfaction, and Work Environment Among Registered Nurses: A Cross-Sectional Study in the United Arab Emirates.
Article in SAGE open nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objective: To explore the relationships between job satisfaction, work environment, and intention to leave among registered nurses in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and to identify potential predictors of intention to leave. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to collect data from registered nurses working in governmental hospitals in the UAE between October and November 2022. A convenience sampling method was used to recruit 294 participants. Results: Approximately 40.8% of nurses reported a high intention to leave their jobs. Significant correlations were found between the intention to leave and several factors, including education level ( Conclusions: The findings of this study indicate that both the work environment and job satisfaction are significant and independent predictors of nurses' intention to leave their positions in the UAE. To reduce turnover, nursing managers and healthcare leaders should prioritize strategies that enhance work conditions, support professional development, reduce burnout, and offer competitive compensation, ultimately promoting nurse retention and better patient care.
