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: Nurses frequently engage in high levels of emotional labor, which, when sustained, may be detrimental to their psychological well-being. However, the way nurses regulate emotions is heterogeneous. Identifying distinct emotional labor profiles and examining their psychological associations is crucial for developing tailored interventions. Objective: This study aimed to identify latent profiles of emotional labor among nurses in tertiary hospitals and investigate their associations with psychological resilience. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from March to May 2025 among 458 registered nurses across eight tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province, China. Data were collected using a general demographic questionnaire, the Emotional Labor Scale, and the Psychological Resilience Scale. Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) was employed to identify distinct emotional labor profiles. One-way ANOVA was used to compare psychological resilience across profiles, and a multivariate logistic regression model was constructed to explore independent predictors of emotional labor categories. Results: A total of 458 valid responses were analyzed. Three distinct emotional labor profiles were identified: Surface Acting-Suppression Type (C1, 30.3%), Deep Acting Type (C2, 45.4%), and Natural Engagement Type (C3, 24.2%). Multivariate logistic regression revealed that gender, age, employment type, monthly night shifts, salary satisfaction, and psychological resilience were significant predictors of emotional labor classification. Psychological resilience significantly differed across all profile comparisons: C1 vs. C2, C1 vs. C3, and C2 vs. C3 ( Conclusion: Emotional labor among nurses exhibits notable latent heterogeneity, with psychological resilience varying significantly across profile types. Tailored interventions are recommended based on emotional labor typologies to enhance psychological resilience and organizational support, thereby improving emotional labor management and promoting sustainable occupational health among nurses.
