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

Background: Currently, nurses are under great pressure and prone to the effort-reward imbalance and presenteeism, which hinders the development of medical health and has gained insufficient attention. The objective of this study is to investigate the actual situation of the effort-reward imbalance and presenteeism for nurses, alongside the exploration of the relationships between them, which is aimed to provide guidance for the alleviation of presenteeism and improvement of nursing quality. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional survey. From October to December 2024, a convenience sampling method was used to conduct a survey among 2,095 nurses from four hospitals in Sichuan Province, China. Data were collected through Questionnaire Star. The questionnaire was composed of general data, the effort-reward imbalance scale and the Stanford Presenteeism Scale. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 26.0 statistical software, including descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis. Results: The effort-reward imbalance score of nurses was (55.91 ± 8.32), in which 52.1% of nurses were in the effort-reward imbalance state, and 44.9% of nurses were in the high-overcommitment state. The presenteeism score of nurses was (16.82 ± 5.85). Besides, the presenteeism of nurses under the state of effort-reward imbalance was relatively higher than those with effort-reward balance ( Conclusion: The condition of effort-reward imbalance is serious among Chinese nurses, alongside the common presenteeism. Besides, effort-reward imbalance and presenteeism were positively correlated. Overall, it is recommended to alleviate the workload of nurses appropriately, alongside the improvement of their rewards and more attention to their physical and mental health.
