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

aimTo investigate the relationship between work excitement and work frustration among nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic and to identify individual and occupational factors associated with these emotional states.

designCross-sectional study.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among nurses working in COVID-19 care centers in Iran. A total of 265 nurses were included in the study, which exceeded the minimum required sample size (n = 163) calculated based on power analysis. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires assessing individual and occupational characteristics, work excitement, and work frustration.

resultsA significant negative correlation was found between work excitement and work frustration. Occupational factors such as fixed shifts, incentive bonuses, and working in intensive care units were associated with increased work excitement and decreased work frustration. Conversely, excessive workload, irregular shifts, and inadequate staffing levels were linked to higher levels of work frustration. Individual factors, including marital status, parental status, and housing status, also influenced work-related emotions. Married nurses with children and homeowners reported higher levels of work excitement and lower levels of work frustration. Male nurses and those with higher incomes also experienced increased work excitement and decreased work frustration. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
