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: Nurses are the backbone of healthcare and vital to patient outcomes. Newly qualified nurses face significant challenges, with many leaving the profession within 2 years, worsening the nursing shortage. Methods: This study aimed to examine how work-to-family conflict, job demands, job control, and social support influence the career intentions of nursing students in the Czech Republic. A nationwide cross-sectional survey was conducted between August and December 2023 using a self-administered online questionnaire. The instrument was adapted from the Nurses Early Exit Study and included validated measures related to psychosocial working conditions and work-to-family balance. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics to explore associations between these factors, health-related characteristics, and students' intentions to remain in or leave the nursing profession. Results: Among 559 respondents, WAI scores were significantly associated with gender, self-perceived health ( Conclusion: Social support emerged as a protective factor, aligning training expectations with clinical experiences and encouraging further nursing qualifications. Work ability promoted endurance in training and reduced career shift. In contrast, exhaustion, work-family conflict, poor health, and negative clinical experiences-including bullying-undermined retention. Nursing education administrators and healthcare managers should prioritize supportive environments, strengthen mentorship and peer support, and implement interventions to reduce stress and improve clinical placements to enhance retention and workforce sustainability.
