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 aims to explore how Leader-Member Exchange (LMX), Job Embeddedness (JE), Job Satisfaction (JS), and Career shocks (CS) affect hospital staff's turnover intention. By offering theoretical and practical insights, it reassures the reader of the study's value in curbing employee departures and building a more stable workforce. Methods: Using a longitudinal design and self-administered questionnaires, data were collected in two rounds from 500 medical staff in 12 tertiary public hospitals in Guangzhou, China, between May and September 2023. The data were analyzed with SPSS 26 and PROCESS macro for SPSS 4.1, including descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and mediation and moderation analyses. Results: LMX, JE, and JS were significantly negatively correlated with Turnover Intention (TI) ( Discussion: CS can temporarily intensify the relationships between LMX, JE, JS, and TI under certain circumstances, likely due to heightened employee sensitivity to leadership support, work environment, and career development. This moderation effect also highlights that employees' demand for organizational support increases when facing career challenges, and high-quality LMX and JE can provide essential assistance for employees to navigate career shocks. Conclusion: By investigating the impact of LMX, JE, JS, and CS on turnover intention, this study offers a fresh perspective on the occupational behavior of medical staff in public hospitals. The findings not only enrich LMX and career shocks theories but also provide practical guidance for managers. This guidance empowers managers to reduce employee turnover intention, making them feel capable and ready to implement these strategies. As a primary goal, the abstract should render the general significance and conceptual advance of the work clearly accessible to a broad readership. References should not be cited in the abstract.
