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: Leadership underpins nurses' interrelated satisfaction and retention, particularly in military healthcare settings marked by strict hierarchies and high operational demands. In Greece, Navy nurses are integral to military healthcare, yet evidence on their job satisfaction and turnover intentions remains limited. This study offers an initial examination of these factors to inform retention strategies and sustain clinical workforce stability. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted between January and March 2025 among active-duty Hellenic Navy nurse officers, primarily serving at the Athens Naval Hospital. Data were collected using an anonymous questionnaire incorporating the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) and turnover intention items. Analyses employed descriptive statistics and bivariate tests. Results: Sixty nurse officers participated (response rate: 53.6%). While respondents reported satisfaction with supervision (68.3%) and coworker relationships (31.7%), there was widespread dissatisfaction with extrinsic factors: 90.0% with pay, 85.0% with promotion opportunities, and 83.3% with fringe benefits. Overall, 53.3% of nurses reported low job satisfaction. Turnover intentions were high: 46.7% considered transitioning to civilian nursing, and 31.7% intended to leave both the Navy and the profession. Job satisfaction related to the nature of work ( Conclusion: Leadership quality, as reflected in supportive supervision, is a key protective factor against job dissatisfaction and turnover intention among Hellenic Navy nurse officers. Strengthening supervisory practices and leadership development, alongside reforms addressing extrinsic rewards and communication, is essential to enhance retention and sustain a resilient military nursing workforce.
