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

objectivesThe retention of a critical mass of human resources is currently an urgent priority for China's older adults' care sector. This study investigated the relationship between social support and turnover intention among employees in older adults caring social organisations (SOs) and focused on studying the mediating role of job satisfaction.

designCross-sectional study.

settingOlder adults caring for SOs in Anhui, Chongqing and Shanghai, China.

participantsA hybrid sampling method was applied to this study, which encompassed multistage stratified sampling and targeted sampling. Questionnaires were administered to 1433 employees of SOs caring for the elderly from November 2019 to August 2023. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: A generalised linear model was employed to examine factors associated with turnover intention. Spearman correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationships between key variables. Finally, the mediating effects among the study variables were examined using structural equation modelling.

resultsThe overall median scores (IQR) for employees' turnover intention and social support were 10.00 (6.00) and 72.00 (14.00), respectively. The total effect on turnover intention comprised the direct effect of social support on turnover intention (

conclusionsThe study elucidated the indirect influence of social support on turnover intention among employees in older adults caring SOs, mediated by job satisfaction.
