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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesExisting research has highlighted the stress associated with the transition from student to practitioner among newly hired nurses, often resulting in diminished professional quality of life (ProQOL). However, there remains a dearth of understanding regarding the impact of the teaching methods during the COVID-19 pandemic on this transition period. This study aims to test a model assessing the mediating role of ProQOL in the association between structural empowerment and successful transition among newly hired nurses who underwent education during the COVID-19 pandemic.
methodsThis study utilized a cross-sectional correlational design and was conducted in two university hospitals and four government hospitals in Saudi Arabia. The study sample was selected using purposive sampling. The Casey-Fink Graduate Nurse Experience Survey, the Arabic version of the ProQOL version 5, and the Conditions for Workplace Effectiveness Questionnaire Second Arabic version were used in the study. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 28.0.1.1. The model was examined using Hayes' process macro.
resultsStructural empowerment significantly predicts successful transitions, both directly and indirectly through its impact on ProQOL.
conclusionsNurse managers should employ optimal strategies and innovative structures within orientation programs to effectively facilitate the transition of Saudi graduate nurses. Moreover, nursing leaders and policymakers should leverage the increased attention garnered during the COVID-19 pandemic to enhance structural empowerment among newly hired nurses, thereby improving their transition and overall well-being. Structural empowerment was a direct and indirect predictor of successful transitions.
