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

The research design is an integrated model whereby perceived organizational support (POS) supports work engagement (WE) via organizational trust (OT) and self-efficacy (SE), and basic psychological needs (BPN) is used as the moderator between perceived organizational support and work engagement among nurses working in a hospital. It is based on the Organizational Support, Social Exchange, Social Cognitive, and Self-Determination theories. It analyzes data from 812 nurses in four public hospitals using structural equation modeling and the PROCESS macro. These findings confirmed that POS had a positive impact on WE, OT, and SE, and that OT and SE partially mediated the relationship between POS and WE. The effects of POS, OT, and SE on WE, with the impact of BPN, reinforced the role of nurses in improving engagement, as autonomy, competence, and relatedness needs of nurses were fulfilled. The results have shown the existence of supportive and trust-based settings, which increase engagement by increasing self-efficacy and satisfying psychological needs. This paper contributes to the theory of engagement and gives practical recommendations on how to create empowering workplaces that meet needs in healthcare.
