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.
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: A robust psychosocial safety climate (PSC) can enhance nurses' work engagement. Conversely, presenteeism-the behaviour of working while ill-reduces nurses' productivity and negatively impacts their work engagement. However, research is scarce on the interplay between PSC, presenteeism, and work engagement among nurses. Objective: This study examined the mediation of presenteeism in the relationship between PSC and nurses' work engagement. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was performed among 2982 full-time registered nurses from tertiary hospitals in 38 cities across 15 provinces in China. An online questionnaire survey was conducted from 2 December 2024 to 31 January 2025. The measurement tools included the 12-item Psychosocial Safety Climate Scale, the Chinese version of the Stanford Presenteeism Scale, and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent samples Results: The average scores for PSC, presenteeism, and work engagement were 49.10 (±10.37), 15.23 (±4.67), and 86.28 (±24.49), respectively. Marital status, only-child status, nurse specialist qualification, PSC score, and presenteeism score significantly influenced nurses' work engagement, accounting for 43.9% of the variance. PSC boosted work engagement and lowered presenteeism, while presenteeism decreased work engagement. Furthermore, presenteeism partially mediated the relationship between PSC and work engagement. Conclusion: Nurses report a relatively strong PSC and moderate levels of presenteeism and work engagement. Demographic and work-related characteristics, along with PSC and presenteeism scores, determine nurses' work engagement. Furthermore, PSC exerts both a direct and an indirect influence on nurses' work engagement, with presenteeism serving as a partial mediator. Implications for Nursing Management: Nurse managers should prioritize fostering a supportive PSC, minimizing presenteeism, and enhancing work engagement. Such measures can ultimately improve care quality and patient safety.
