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

backgroundNursing interns frequently experience transition shock. Transition is a complex and continuously shifting process that involves vital changes in roles, responsibilities, and goals as one phase ends and another begins.

aimThe purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of a transition training program on work engagement among nurse interns.

methodsUsing a quasi-experimental design consisting of a single-group pretest, posttest, and follow-up test, the study was carried out at the Cairo, Egypt-affiliated Ain-Shams University Hospital, El-Demerdash Hospital, Pediatrics Hospital, and Cardiovascular Hospital. A simple random sampling technique was used, including 160 nurse interns. Data were gathered using three instruments: the nurse interns’ transition knowledge questionnaire, the Casey-Fink Graduate Nurse Experience Survey, and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale.

resultsThe nurse interns’ transition knowledge, experience, and work engagement showed significant improvement in post-implantation training program. Post-training; the majority of nurse interns’ had satisfactory knowledge with some decline at follow-up phase. Also, the majority of nurse interns’ had satisfactory transition experience with some decline at follow up phase. Additionally, post training the most of nurse interns had high level of work engagement with some decline at follow-up phase.

conclusionThe knowledge, transition experience, and work engagement of nursing interns significantly improved following the implementation of the transition training program. To fill the gaps in clinical preparation, competency development, and the transition to professional practice, nursing education programs should implement structured internship curricula that combine academic knowledge with a variety of clinical experiences. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
