Relationship between empathy and quality of work life in oncology nurses: the mediating role of resilience.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundTo explore the relationship between empathy and quality of work life (QWL) in oncology nurses, with a focus on the mediating role of resilience.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary grade hospital on a sample of 321 oncology nurses in Weifang, China. Participants completed measures of the general information questionnaire, Interpersonal reactivity index for China, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and Work-related Quality of Life Scale-2. The data were analyzed by using SPSS 26.0 and Amos 20.
resultsOncology nurses' QWL score was 3.05 ± 0.27. Their resilience, empathy, and QWL were positively correlated with each other, and resilience partially mediated the relationship between empathy and QWL (β = 0.419, P < 0.001).
conclusionThe QWL of oncology nurses should be further improved. The data revealed significant associations among empathy, resilience, and QWL, with resilience demonstrating a mediating effect in the empathy-QWL linkage. Nursing decision-makers should consider fostering organizational climates that support resilience and empathy development, as these factors show significant associations with QWL.
