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

Background: Studies have documented associations among workplace violence (WPV), psychological capital (PsyCap), and professional commitment (PC). But limited research has investigated how PsyCap mediates the relationship between WPV and PC, particularly among nursing interns. Objective: This study assessed the current status of WPV, PsyCap, and PC among Chinese nursing students, analyzed thier interrelationships and further determined whether PsyCap mediated the association between WPV and PC. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 520 nursing interns used validated instruments: a demographic questionnaire, the WPV Scale, the PC Scale, and the PsyCap Questionnaire (Chinese version of PCQ). Pearson correlation analyzed the relationships among PsyCap, WPV, and PC, while hierarchical regression tested the mediation model. Results: The total scores for PC and PsyCap among nursing students were (77.04 ± 17.04) and (91.90 ± 16.16), respectively. Approximately 31.54% of the participants reported experiencing WPV. PsyCap was inversely associated with WPV ( Conclusion: Nursing students exhibited moderate levels of PsyCap and PC, with the prevalence of WPV being slightly lower than reported in comparable studies. And PsyCap fully mediated the relationship between WPV and PC. These findings revealed that nursing administrators and educators should enhance and develop nursing students' PsyCap to lower the adverse effects of WPV and promote higher levels of PC.
