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

Introduction: Performance appraisal (PA) is essential for healthcare organizations. Highlighting the impact of the nursing PA system on nurses' work outcomes has the potential to significantly improve the quality of patient care. Understanding and enhancing the performance appraisal system is key to achieving this goal. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of the nursing PA system and its effect on nurses' work outcomes. It also compared the perceptions of PA among staff nurses (SNs), charge nurses (CNs), and head nurses (HNs), providing valuable insights into the dynamics of the nursing PA system. Method: A cross-sectional, descriptive, and comparative design was adopted to assess the current nursing PA system. Results: This study, which included 356 nurses, revealed significant differences in the perception of PA among nurses at all levels. The findings underscore the practical implications of the potential for more efficient use of PA to improve nurses' performance. SNs and CNs showed significant gender-based differences in PA effectiveness ( Conclusion: This study's findings underscore the significant impact of inappropriate PA systems, inefficient instruments, and unskilled evaluators on organizational commitment, job satisfaction, maintaining a committed nursing workforce, and high-quality healthcare. The study also highlights the importance of effective performance appraisal systems in healthcare organizations. However, the study also emphasizes the crucial role of a mutual understanding between the appraiser and the appraisee. This understanding is a key factor in enhancing the efficacy of PA, thereby emphasizing its importance in the appraisal process.
