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

aimsThe main purpose of this hypothesis-driven study was to assess levels of change fatigue, adaptive performance and organisational support among ICU nurses; to explore the effects of change fatigue and organisational support on adaptive performance; and to examine the mediating role of organisational support in the relationship between change fatigue and adaptive performance.

designA multi-site, cross-sectional survey.

methodsFrom February to April 2025, 621 ICU nurses from 12 public secondary and tertiary hospitals in Guizhou, Zhejiang, Anhui and Hebei Provinces were recruited via convenience sampling. A questionnaire assessed their change fatigue, perceived organisational support and adaptive performance.

resultsThe surveyed ICU nurses in this study exhibited moderate change fatigue, adaptive performance and perceived organisational support. Change fatigue was negatively correlated with both adaptive performance and perceived organisational support (both p < 0.05), while adaptive performance was positively correlated with perceived organisational support (p < 0.05). Perceived organisational support mediated between change fatigue and adaptive performance, accounting for 29.17% of the total effect.

conclusionThe level of change fatigue can directly affect adaptive performance and influence it indirectly through the mediating role of organisational support. Managers should establish a multidimensional organisational support system to enhance the adaptive performance of ICU nurses. IMPACT: The findings of this cross-sectional study suggest administrators provide both instrumental and emotional support to ICU nurses to mitigate change fatigue, and recommend implementing resource depletion alert systems and adopting targeted interventions. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution. This study did not involve patients, service users, caregivers or members of the public.
