1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Emergency department (ED) nurses suffer from workplace violence (WPV) and occupational stress (OS) due to the working environment. However, a relatively small number of studies on the relationship between WPV and OS among ED nurses have been conducted and its impact on nurse health or nursing quality. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 30 hospitals in China from December 26, 2023, to January 18, 2024 through questionnaire survey and stratified cluster sampling. Results: A total of 1,540 ED nurses were surveyed, 1,309 of whom had experienced WPV. OS score of these ED nurses was (55.55 ± 16.78). Correlation between WPV and OS was significant (rs = 0.577, Conclusion: A high proportion of ED nurses had experienced WPV, they had moderate to severe levels of OS, and WPV was a direct predictor of OS among them. This may be reduced by strengthening the management of violence in their workplace.
