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.

Abstract
backgroundMental health nurses encounter distinctive occupational challenges that significantly influence their psychological well-being and resilience capacity. These challenges include managing patients with complex mental health conditions, navigating high-stress clinical environments, and addressing the substantial emotional demands inherent in psychiatric nursing practice. This study aimed to assess the psychological well-being and workplace resilience of nurses employed in mental health hospitals in Upper Egypt and to identify factors associated with these outcomes.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 mental health nurses in mental health hospitals located in Assiut district, Upper Egypt. Data were collected through semi-structured questionnaires administered via direct interviews with study participants. Psychological well-being was measured using Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale, while workplace resilience was assessed using the Resilience at Work Scale.
resultsThe overall mean psychological well-being score was 4.32 ± 0.46. Among the psychological well-being dimensions, personal growth demonstrated the highest mean score (4.58 ± 0.81). The overall mean resilience at work score was 4.60 ± 0.56. Cooperative interaction exhibited the highest mean score (5.48 ± 0.54), whereas maintaining perspective showed the lowest mean score (3.67 ± 1.00). Significant predictors of both psychological well-being and workplace resilience included employment in university hospitals and higher socioeconomic status. Male gender emerged as a significant predictor of psychological well-being.
conclusionsThis study demonstrates that a substantial proportion of mental health nurses exhibit high levels of workplace resilience, while the majority demonstrate moderate levels of psychological well-being. Strengthening workplace resilience represents a critical strategy for healthcare organizations seeking to support the psychological well-being of mental health nursing staff. The results emphasize the essential role of organizational support and structured interventions in fostering workplace resilience and safeguarding the psychological well-being of mental health nurses.
