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

Introduction: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between work engagement, occupational future time perspective (OFTP), and career adaptability among newly graduated nurses (NGNs) in China. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted with 316 newly graduated nurses from 20 hospitals across various provinces in China. The survey included measures of work engagement, OFTP, and career adaptability. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data and test the mediating role of career adaptability. Results: In this study, the mean scores of work engagement, occupational future time perspective and career adaptability among 316 newly graduated were (34.55 ± 10.61), (28.56 ± 8.16), and (68.31 ± 15.77), respectively. The findings indicate that a positive OFTP significantly contributes to higher levels of work engagement among NGNs. Career adaptability was found to mediate the relationship between OFTP and work engagement. Married nurses, those with formal employment contracts, and those with more experience or fewer night shifts reported higher levels of work engagement. Conclusion: This study underscores the importance of a positive OFTP in enhancing work engagement among NGNs. Career adaptability plays a crucial mediating role, suggesting that interventions aimed at improving adaptability could amplify the positive effects of a positive OFTP on work engagement.
