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
backgroundBased on the theoretical framework of self-determination theory, this study examines the links between the quality of interpersonal relationships and occupational health (vigor and emotional exhaustion), as well as the occupational functioning (affective commitment and turnover intentions) of new nurses, considering the potential role of psychological resources (satisfaction of basic psychological needs: autonomy, competence and relatedness; resilience) as intermediate coping mechanisms.
methodThe sample for this cross-sectional study comprises 273 Quebec new nurses (≤ 2 years of experience). Using the MPlus 8.8 software, a mediation analysis was performed to test the proposed adaptation model.
resultsThe quality of interpersonal relationships at the beginning of a nursing career is linked to the satisfaction of psychological needs at work. In this regard, our results indicate that it is through the perception of competence at work that the quality of interpersonal relationships is associated with resilience. In turn, new nurses' resilience is related to occupational health (positive and significant link with vigor, negative and significant link with emotional exhaustion). In terms of the psychological resources that potentially intervene in the relationship between the quality of interpersonal relationships and the occupational functioning, our results suggest that psychological needs could play a partial mediating role. Indeed, direct and significant links are observed between the perception of competence and the occupational turnover intentions (β = - 0.226, p = .029), as well as between the perception of autonomy and affective commitment to the nursing profession (β = 0.240, p = .026). CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS: Positive relationships at work are a lever for professional adaptation for new nurses since they lead to the establishment of important psychological resources (competence and resilience) for their occupational health and occupational functioning. Health care institutions are therefore encouraged to strengthen harmonious, rewarding, satisfying and trusting relationships in their environments. In addition, they would benefit from directing the new nurse to the importance of their psychological resources, given their positive associations with the health and functioning indicators measured in this study. The implications of the study are discussed in light of the most recent literature on the adaptation of new nurses.
