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

aimTo determine the effect of emotional intelligence skills training on work-family conflict based on self-regulation theory in nurses.

designMixed-method study with sequential-explanatory design.

methodsThe quasi-experimental part was done on 102 nurses in control and intervention groups. In the qualitative section, in-depth individual interviews were conducted with 8 participants, and data were extracted using the content analysis method.

resultsThe average total score of emotional intelligence in the experimental group was significantly higher compared to the control group. But the findings did not show a significant difference in the average scores of work-family conflicts before and after the intervention in groups. The analysis of the findings from the interview showed that several factors explain the lack of effectiveness of emotional intelligence training in reducing work-family conflict.

conclusionThe findings of the quantitative and qualitative parts of the study showed that the training of emotional intelligence was useful for individuals, but the fact that it could reduce the work-family conflict might be due to some other factors, e.g., individuals, family and workplace as well. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or member of the public contributed to the study findings, and the study was conducted only on the population of nurses.
