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

aimThis study aims to investigate work life balance (WLB), job satisfaction, and occupational burnout among nursing professionals in Jordan. identifying key factors that influence their well-being and professional engagement.

methodsThis cross-sectional study (January-April 2023) surveyed Jordanian nurses using the Netemeyer Work-Life Balance Scale, Job Satisfaction Scale, and Copenhagen Burnout Inventory. Stratified sampling ensured diverse representation. Multiple logistic regression analyzed WLB determinants, adjusting for demographics and work-related factors. Ethical approval was obtained from JUST-IRB, with informed consent and confidentiality assured.

resultsA total of 500 nurses participated, 67.8% female. Key findings include nurses with a master's or PhD degree reported significantly higher WLB than those with a bachelor's degree (aOR = 3.081, p = 0.003). Work interference with personal life was evident, with 40.7% (165 respondents) reporting that their job demands negatively impacted their family life. In contrast, those working more than 50 hours per week had higher WLB (aOR = 2.652, p = 0.029).

conclusionThe study highlights the demographic and occupational factors influencing WLB, job satisfaction, and burnout among Jordanian nurses. Nurses working over 50 hours per week reported significantly higher WLB, yet job satisfaction remained moderate, and burnout, especially work-related, was a prevalent issue. Understanding these factors is crucial for enhancing the well-being and performance of nurses in Jordan.
