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

Background: The concept of felt trust (FT)-nurses' perception of being trusted by their supervisors-is increasingly recognized as integral to the quality of healthcare delivery. Despite its importance, the specific impact of FT on nursing performance and the role of self-efficacy and benevolent leadership (BL) in this context are not well understood. Objective: This study aims to explore the influence of nurses' FT on their job performance and the mediating role of self-efficacy and moderating role of BL in this relationship. Design: A cross-sectional design was adopted to survey 320 registered nurses from 15 public hospitals in China. Data were collected from March to April 2022. Methods: The study utilized hierarchical regression analysis and the bootstrap method in the PROCESS macro to test the proposed hypotheses. Results: The findings indicate that FT has a positive and significant effect on job performance among nurses ( Conclusion: This study suggests that FT is an important factor that influences job performance among nurses. Self-efficacy plays a significant mediating role in this relationship, while BL has a moderating effect on the relationship between FT and self-efficacy. These findings highlight the importance of promoting FT and self-efficacy among nurses while also cultivating a supportive organizational culture that fosters BL. Implications for Nursing Management: This study highlights the importance of fostering FT to enhance nurses' job performance. Nursing management can benefit from creating an environment that promotes FT and self-efficacy and encourages BL, leading to improved patient care and nurse satisfaction.
