Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundCritical care nurses (CCNs) experience serious work-related stress due to a myriad of factors, like insufficiently trained staff, shortages, and high workloads. They might develop healthy or unhealthy coping strategies. The aim of this study was to measure stress levels and determine coping strategies among CCNs. It also aimed to explore the correlation between stress and coping mechanisms and identify differences in the demographic characteristics and work-related factors with the measured levels of stress and coping mechanisms. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study employed a cross-sectional design during the COVID-19 pandemic, collecting data from 200 CCNs via an online questionnaire. The survey included a demographic sheet, the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ). Data analysis utilized both descriptive and inferential statistics. Pearson correlations, t-tests, and ANOVA were used to analyze stress, coping mechanisms, and demographic factors, providing insights into CCNs' stress and coping strategies.
resultMost participants were single, held a bachelor's degree, and worked as staff nurses. Moderate to high stress levels were reported, with the most frequently used coping mechanism being a refuge in fate, and the least utilized being a refuge in supernatural forces. Significant positive correlations were found between stress levels and coping strategies such as keeping to self (
conclusionsIt is recommended that extra effort should be given to CCNs' ability to adapt to stressful situations. It is possible to improve the retention rates of new nurses by improving their ability to accommodate and by assisting them in developing healthy coping strategies.
