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
Aim: To describe and explain the level of nurse engagement in the period 2019-2022 and identify related background variables and drivers of nurse engagement in hospital settings. Design: An analytical cross-sectional multicentre study with a 4-year time series. Methods: Data were collected annually from 2019 to 2022 from 24,653 nurses (staff nurses, midwives, and assistant nurse managers) in Finnish hospitals ( Results: Nurse engagement varied over the study period, with 10.0%-4.2% of nurses being engaged, 33.1%-17.0% content, 31.4%-28.8% ambivalent, and 25.5%-50.0% disengaged. The proportion of disengaged nurses increased, while the proportions of content and engaged nurses decreased over the 4 years. All background variables and drivers of nurse engagement were statistically significant in relation to the level of nurse engagement. Conclusion: This study produced novel findings on nurse engagement and related factors in a hospital setting, based on unique, national-level data collected over 4 years. The results raise concerns considering the attractiveness of the nursing profession and nurse retention. The study provides insights for nurse leaders to strengthen leadership practices and create more engaging work environments. To support nurse engagement, healthcare organisations should routinely assess the engagement of their nursing workforce and prioritise leadership strategies aimed at attracting, retaining, and enhancing nurse engagement. Implications for Nursing Management: It is important that nurse leaders promote nurse engagement throughout nurses' careers and recognise nurses of all generations, as nurse engagement is a key factor in staff retainment and impacts directly on the quality and outcomes of patient care. To keep nurses engaged, nurse leaders and managers should keep patient care manageable and also offer other tasks that match the nurses' interests and career opportunities.
