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.

Abstract
Introduction: Organizational silence is prevalent in healthcare and negatively affects nurses and organizational development. This study determined whether coworker support mediates the relationship between organizational silence and work engagement among nurses. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted using convenience sampling. The Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-17, Peer Supporting Scale, and Employee Silence Behavior Survey Questionnaire were used to measure the key variables. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and a structural equation modeling with bootstrap method were performed. Results: A total of 597 registered nurses from 21 general hospitals in China participated. Nurses' work engagement (72.09 ± 20.33), coworker support (108.60 ± 20.66), and organizational silence (32.23 ± 11.06) were at moderate levels. Work engagement was positively correlated with coworker support, while both work engagement and coworker support were negatively correlated with organizational silence (all Conclusion: Work engagement was negatively correlated with organizational silence, in which coworker support played a partial mediating role. It is recommended to enhance the positive impact of work engagement on organizational behavior through strengthening coworker support among nurses, thereby reducing organizational silence, fostering a better work environment, and ultimately enhancing the quality of nursing care.
