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

backgroundResearch has indicated that the internalization of emotion regulation is an important process for promoting positive work outcomes among employees. In Taiwan nursing contexts, however, the collectivist culture and high power distance within the Chinese community, along with the hierarchical and highly structured nature of nursing work, are not conducive to the internalization of emotional regulation. This study was focused on exploring mechanisms or policies within hospitals that can improve the internalization of emotional regulation among nursing staff. This study examined how the quality of leader-member exchange (LMX) influences the internalization of emotional regulation and explored the moderating role of mentorship in this relationship.

methodsA two-stage questionnaire survey was conducted to limit common method bias. Female nurses in a medical center in central Taiwan participated. The recruitment period for this study started in April 2020 and ended in June 2020. A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed at each stage, and 252 matched pairs of responses were retrieved (valid response rate = 84%). The proposed hypotheses were verified using hierarchical regression conducted with SPSS Version 25.0.

resultsThe findings suggest that LMX quality positively influences the internalization of emotional regulation (β = 0.26, p < 0.01). Additionally, the results confirm that mentoring functions strengthen this positive relationship (β = 0.18, p < 0.01), highlighting their role as a moderating factor.

conclusionsThis study confirmed that establishing high-quality LMX relationships can enhance the internalization of emotional regulation among female nursing staff. In addition, mentors can provide effective guidance and feedback, thereby improving the quality of LMX and their internalization of emotional regulation. Strengthening LMX relationships and establishing a comprehensive mentoring system are important for hospitals.
