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
Objective: This study aimed to quantify the mediating effects of positive and negative coping styles on the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and occupational well-being among nurses. The findings aim to provide a scientific basis for optimizing psychological health interventions for nurses. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted, involving 9,578 nursing staff from over 50 hospitals of varying tiers in Lanzhou, China. Standardized scales-the Chinese Big Five Personality Inventory-Brief (CBF-PI-B), Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), and Occupational Well-being Scale for Healthcare Workers-were administered. Mediation effects were tested using the Bootstrap method, with adjustments for covariates including gender, age, and department. Results: Personality traits showed significant correlations with occupational well-being: Extraversion, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and openness were positively correlated with well-being ( Conclusion: Personality traits indirectly affect occupational well-being via positive or negative coping strategies, with proactive coping serving as the critical pathway for well-being enhancement. This study reveals an asymmetry in the mediating mechanism, where the efficacy of positive coping far outweighs that of negative coping. These insights offer novel perspectives for developing targeted interventions, such as personality assessment-guided coping skills training. These findings support a 'Coping Efficacy Asymmetry Model' providing a new framework for interventions that prioritize building positive coping skills to enhance nurse well-being and support healthcare system resilience.
