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
Background: In recent years, due to the increase in care demands caused by population aging and the rise in nurse-patient conflicts, the retention intention of nurses has become an urgent global issue, as high turnover rates pose significant challenges to healthcare systems around the world. Therefore, this study will explore nurses' retention intention and the associated factors. Methods: This multi-center cross-sectional study recruited 1,831 nurses from eight hospitals across China between January and February 2024 through convenience sampling. Data collection was conducted using online surveys. The questionnaire was divided into four sections: the sociodemographic questionnaire, the Chinese Questionnaire for Nurse Intention to Remain Employed (C-QNIRE), the Medical Narrative Ability Scale (MNAS), and the Chinese version of Compassion Fatigue Short Scale (C-CF-Short Scale). We utilized descriptive statistics, normality test, one-way ANOVA, Results: The results of this study showed that the total score of nurses' retention intention was 22.79 ± 3.71. The Multiple linear regression results showed that compassion fatigue ( Conclusion: This study indicated that nurses demonstrate a moderate retention intention. Nursing administrators and educators should address this issue by proactively introducing strategies to reduce compassion fatigue and improve narrative medicine ability among nursing staff. Such initiatives can positively impact nurses' retention intention, thereby reducing the turnover of skilled nursing personnel. This is essential for effective management of nursing human resources and enhancing the overall quality of nursing care.
