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

aimWe sought to distinguish, clarify and define the development process, concepts, attributes, types, prerequisites and consequences of organizational resilience, ultimately with the aim of improving relevant nursing strategies.

designRodgers and Knafl's evolutionary concept was applied to the concept analysis.

methodsFive databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, PubMed and Embase) were searched from 1973 to 2023 to identify relevant sources. Thematic analysis was used to form the conceptual connotation of organizational resilience.

resultsA total of 45 articles were included for synthesis. Alternative and related terms (mentioned in the literature) that share attributes with organizational resilience include crisis management and change management. Six antecedents of organizational resilience were identified: Resource, Communication, Social Networks, Infrastructure, Organizational Structure and People. Nine attributes of organizational resilience include: robustness, redundancy, rapidity, resourcefulness, diversity, adaption, self-regulation, flexibility and recoverability. Consequences of organizational resilience were separated into three themes: organization, employee and customer.

conclusionsOrganizational resilience delineates a coherent set of antecedents, attributes and consequences that can guide healthcare systems in calibrating their structures, processes and resources to context-specific demands. By internationalizing these qualities, organizations can systematically pursue resilience objectives, thereby sustaining adaptive capacity under conditions of stress and change. Our conceptual analysis of organizational resilience gives a complete comprehension of this phenomenon and a rationale for instrument development, future research and intervention. IMPACT: This study defines the concept, antecedents, attributes and consequences of organizational resilience. By strengthening these elements, organizations can enhance their adaptability and long-term sustainability. The findings offer evidence-based guidance that healthcare organizations can apply to build resilience and effectively respond to future challenges.
