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
backgroundThis study aimed to examine the relationship between psychological resilience and professional quality of life among nurses working in surgical units, with a focus on compassion satisfaction, burnout, and compassion fatigue. Surgical nurses work in highly stressful environments that may compromise their psychological resilience and professional quality of life, leading to burnout and compassion fatigue. Despite its clinical importance, evidence focusing specifically on surgical nurses remains limited.
methodsA descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted between June and December 2024 among 244 surgical nurses working in the provinces of İzmir and Manisa, located in the western region of Turkey. Data were collected via an online survey including a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), and the Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL). Descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests were used for analysis, along with Spearman’s correlation to assess relationships between variables.
resultsThe mean BRS score was 19.24 ± 4.19. Subscale scores for the ProQOL were as follows: compassion satisfaction (37.47 ± 8.86), burnout (18.55 ± 7.31), and compassion fatigue (19.38 ± 9.42). Psychological resilience was positively correlated with compassion satisfaction (rs=0.384, p < 0.01) and negatively correlated with burnout (rs = − 0.550, p < 0.01) and compassion fatigue (rs = − 0.419, p < 0.01). Nurses with higher psychological resilience, greater job satisfaction, and more favorable working conditions reported significantly better professional quality of life outcomes.
conclusionThis study demonstrated that psychological resilience is a key factor positively influencing the professional quality of life among surgical nurses. Higher levels of resilience were associated with increased compassion satisfaction and decreased levels of burnout and compassion fatigue.
