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
aimsTo find out how Kenyan nurses rate their organisational culture, determine their level of job satisfaction, and organisational culture predictors of job satisfaction.
designA cross-sectional online survey. METHODOLOGY: A total of 300 nurses across Kenya were invited to participate in this study. The Practice Environment Scale of Nursing Work Index was used to measure organisational culture, while a single-item scale was used to assess job satisfaction. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 28. Chi-square, correlation, and bivariate logistic regression were performed to determine the relationship among the study variables.
resultsKenya's overall organisational culture was rated as weak-positive (M = 2.51). Only 24.5% of nurses reported being satisfied, while 74.5% were dissatisfied or neutral. Structural Equation Modelling of the five sub-scales demonstrated an acceptable fit and accounted for 43.7% of job satisfaction variance. Significant predictors of job satisfaction included participation in hospital affairs (β = 0.409, SE = 0.084, T = 5.396, p < 0.001) and staffing and resource adequacy (β = 0.311, SE = 0.060, T = 4.665, p < 0.001).
conclusionThis study highlights the crucial role of organisational culture in determining nurses' job satisfaction. It provides robust evidence to policymakers, hospital administrators, nurse managers and other health stakeholders of the need to fully involve and engage nurses in hospital affairs while providing adequate staffing and resources. Such measures are essential for creating a highly satisfied workforce, fostering the delivery of high-quality nursing care to patients. Nurse Managers and hospital management should strive to continuously monitor and build positive organisational cultures to raise the quality of service delivery and retain the nursing workforce. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: This study involves no patient or public contribution.
