Nurse Well-being Drives Patient Satisfaction in Magnet Hospitals.
Article in The Journal of nursing administration, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo examine whether adverse nurse job outcomes mediate the relationship between Magnet® designation and quality of care and patient satisfaction.
backgroundWhile Magnet designation is linked to better care quality and patient satisfaction, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
methodsThis cross-sectional study linked 4 datasets: the US Clinician Well-being Study, RN4CAST-NY/IL survey, the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems, and the American Hospital Association Annual Survey. The sample included 132 hospitals (60 Magnet, 72 non-Magnet). Outcomes included nurse-reported care quality, likelihood to recommend their hospital, patient safety culture, and patient satisfaction. Mediation analyses assessed the role of nurse job outcomes.
resultsMagnet status was directly associated with better quality and patient satisfaction outcomes, and indirectly through lower job dissatisfaction and work-life imbalance. Burnout did not mediate these relationships.
conclusionsNurse well-being plays a vital role in contributing to the relationship between Magnet designation and patient satisfaction.
