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: Nurses' turnover intentions had a significant challenge to healthcare systems worldwide. Burnout substantially contributes to turnover intentions and actual departure behavior, yet the underlying mechanisms remain underexplored. Aim: To examine the mediating role of mental health strain in the relationship between professional burnout and nurses' turnover intentions. Methods: This cross-sectional study employed a nonprobability, convenience sample of 234 registered nurses working at two tertiary hospitals in the Damietta Governorate, Egypt. Out of the 255 questionnaires distributed, 234 were returned, yielding a 91.8% response rate. Data were collected using self-reported questionnaires, including the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (specifically work-related burnout subscale), the General Health Questionnaire, and the Turnover Intentions Scale, in addition to a demographic information form. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics followed by Hayes' PROCESS Macro (Model 4) to conduct mediation analysis. Results: Professional burnout had a substantial positive direct influence on mental health strain ( Conclusions: The findings highlight mental health strain as a crucial pathway through which professional burnout affects turnover intentions among nurses. Nursing managers should implement strategies to reduce professional burnout and support nurses' mental well-being to enhance retention and workforce stability. Additionally, health policymakers should consider implementing national standards for safe staffing, institutionalized mental health support programs, and long-term investments in workplace wellness to ensure a resilient and sustainable nursing workforce.
