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

aimThe aims of this study were to examine whether professional identity mediates the association between burnout and missed nursing care (MNC), and to test whether psychological capital moderates this mediation model.

designA cross-sectional study.

methodsThe Oncology Missed Nursing Care Self-rating Scale (OMNCS), Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), Professional Identification Scale (PIS) and Psychological Capital Scale (PCS) were used to assess 446 neuro-oncology nurses from 10 Grade A oncology hospitals in six Chinese provinces between April and June 2024. Mediation and moderated mediation models were constructed using structural equation modelling.

resultsThe incidence of MNC among 446 neuro-oncology nurses was 36.4%. The mean score on the OMNCS was 104.95 ± 26.70 (note: the OMNCS is reverse-scored, with higher scores indicating fewer missed care occurrences). MBI showed a negative association with MNC (total effect: β = -0.605, p < 0.001), with a significant direct effect (β = -0.256, p < 0.001). PIS partially mediated this relationship (indirect effect: β = -0.349, p < 0.001), accounting for 57.7% of the total effect, through the paths 'burnout → professional identity' (β = -0.646, p < 0.001) and 'professional identity → MNC' (β = 0.540, p < 0.001). PCS moderated all three paths (β = -0.015, p < 0.001; β = -0.018, p < 0.05; β = 0.071, p < 0.05). As psychological capital increased from low to high, the indirect effect diminished in magnitude from -0.23 to -0.12. The moderated mediation model demonstrated good fit (GFI = 0.98, CFI = 0.97, RMSEA = 0.06, χ

conclusionThe direct correlation between burnout and heightened risk of MNC was evident, with burnout also exhibiting an indirect connection to MNC through the enhancement of professional identity in neuro-oncology nurses. Psychological capital was identified as a potential moderator in offsetting the mediating impact of professional identity and in regulating the association between burnout and MNC. Future intervention strategies aimed at mitigating MNC among neuro-oncology nurses experiencing burnout may benefit from enhancing professional identity and psychological capital. Such approaches could potentially improve care quality and patient outcomes. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public involvement occurred in the design, conduct, or reporting of this study. The study participants were neuro-oncology nurses, and the research focused on their experiences and perceptions.
