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

aimsThis study aimed to assess differences in perceived stress levels and their influencing factors among nursing interns during different periods of a public health emergency.

designA cross-sectional study.

methodsThe survey was conducted at a tertiary hospital in Jiangsu Province, China, from July to August in 2019, 2020, and 2021. A total of 355 nursing interns participated. Data included general information (gender, age, etc.), scores of the Internship Nurse Stressor Scale, and WHOQOL-BREF (physiological, psychological, social, environmental dimensions). Correlation analysis explored relationships between variables, and multiple linear regression identified influencing factors of stress.

resultsParticipants were predominantly female (335/355). Stress levels were moderate across periods but significantly different (F = 4.513, p = 0.012). Influencing factors varied. In 2019, factors influencing stress included being an only child (β = 0.206, p = 0.026) and the physiological dimension score of the WHOQOL-BREF (β = -0.257, p = 0.031) [R PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: This study provides valuable evidence on the stress levels and influencing factors of nursing interns across different periods of public health emergencies. Relevant departments within schools and hospitals should monitor interns' physical well-being, taking into account the workload and challenges associated with their internships whether it is before the outbreak or during the later period of public health emergencies. During the early period, addressing their psychological well-being is particularly important. This can be achieved by establishing effective psychological support channels and offering counselling services.
