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

objectivesto analyze the levels of compassion fatigue, occupational stress, and work engagement, and their correlation among nurses at a university hospital.

methodscross-sectional study conducted in 2019 with 83 nurses, using validated scales. Descriptive, reliability, and correlation tests were applied (p ≤ 0.05).

resultsa prevalence of 34.9% for occupational stress and 15.9% for compassion fatigue was observed; high levels of dedication (4.6 ± 1.0), absorption (4.2 ± 1.0), and vigor (4.4 ± 1.1) were reported. Nurses with occupational stress were more likely to experience compassion fatigue (OR = 2.668; 95% CI: 0.799-8.898), and had higher levels of burnout (mean = 53.8; p = 0.013) and secondary traumatic stress (mean = 53.0; p = 0.047). Professionals with compassion fatigue showed reduced dedication (p = 0.011) and vigor (p = 0.001).

conclusionsthe relationship between occupational stress and compassion fatigue increases the risk of burnout and secondary traumatic stress, and reduces dedication and vigor, highlighting the need for institutional measures to promote well-being, especially in the post-pandemic context marked by overload, resource scarcity, and distress.
