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
Introduction: Job embeddedness is beneficial for promoting nurse retention, positive organizational behavior, and patient outcomes. Therefore, it is crucial to give more attention to the job embeddedness of nurses. This study aims to explore the mediating role of affective commitment in the perception of authentic leadership, organizational climate, and job embeddedness among Chinese nurses. Methods: This cross-sectional study surveyed 716 clinical nurses from hospitals in northern China. The data analysis methods included a descriptive statistical analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, regression analysis, and Bootstrap mediation effect test. Results: We found a significant positive correlation between authentic leadership, organizational climate, affective commitment, and the job embeddedness of nurses. Affective commitment partially mediates authentic leadership and job embeddedness and fully mediates organizational climate and job embeddedness. Discussion: Authentic leadership style is an important factor affecting the job embeddedness of nurses; affective commitment as a mediating variable more clearly reveals the impact of authentic leadership and organizational climate on job embeddedness. Nursing managers should develop an authentic leadership style, improve organizational climate, effectively enhance affective commitment, strengthen nurses' job embeddedness, and promote nurse retention.
