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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesTurnover intention among intensive care unit (ICU) nurses remains consistently higher than that observed in other clinical departments. A weakened professional identity and exposure to ethically challenging situations may further intensify nurses' intention to leave. This study aimed to examine the influence of moral distress, person-centred care, and nursing professional pride on turnover intention among ICU nurses in South Korea.

methodsA descriptive cross-sectional design was employed using a convenience sample of 203 ICU nurses from three general hospitals in South Korea. Data were obtained between 26 September and 31 October 2024 and analysed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 29.0.2.0, with

resultsTwo subdomains of nursing professional pride-role satisfaction and willingness to stay-along with gender (male) and the futile care subdomain of moral distress were the main factors influencing turnover intention. These variables collectively explained 24.9% of the variance in turnover intention (F = 17.78,

conclusionsStrengthening nursing professional pride-particularly role satisfaction and willingness to stay-and reducing futile care-related moral distress may help lower ICU nurses' turnover intention. Organisational strategies, including ethical management programmes and supportive policies, are recommended to enhance nursing professional pride, alleviate moral distress, and promote long-term nurse retention.
