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
aimTo investigate the relationship between professional identity and turnover intention for new nurses in China, and explore the mediating role of psychological capital and achievement motivation in these two variables.
backgroundAs the main backup force in nursing career development, new nurses face challenges due to the conflict between theory and practice, a lack of skills, and the heavy demands of nursing work. As a result, the majority of new nurses have higher turnover intention. Reducing the turnover intention of new nurses is very important to reduce the shortage of nurses, stabilize the hospital talent team, and improve the nursing quality.
methodsA Cross-sectional survey was used to investigate 562 nurses in 6 hospitals in Henan Province from February to March 2024. Pearson correlation analysis, descriptive statistics and structural equation model were used to analyze the existing data.
resultsThere was a significant relationship between the professional identity, psychological capital, achievement motivation, and turnover intention of new nurses. Psychological capital and achievement motivation played a chain mediating role in the effect of professional identity on the turnover intention of new nurses.
conclusionThe results can be used as a reference for formulating relevant hospital management policies and reducing the turnover intention of new nurses, which is of great significance for reducing the shortage of nurses and stabilizing the talent team of hospitals.
