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

backgroundThis study identified latent categories of self-regulatory fatigue among oncology nurses, clarified their characteristic differences, and examined associated factors to inform targeted interventions.

methodsA cross-sectional design with convenience sampling was employed. From January to June 2025, 675 nurses from oncology specialized hospitals in Guangdong Province, China, completed a general information questionnaire, the Nurse Self-Depletion Scale, the Perceived Social Support Scale, the Differential Atmosphere Scale, and the Trait Anxiety Inventory. Latent profile analysis classified self-regulatory fatigue, and ordinal multinomial logistic regression assessed associated factors.

resultsThree fatigue profiles emerged: “low depletion” (n = 248, 36.74%); “moderate depletion” (n = 111, 16.44%); and “high depletion” (n = 316, 46.82%). Ordinal multinomial logistic regression revealed that education level, employment status, work environment, trait anxiety, perceived social support, and perception of differential atmosphere significantly influenced self-regulatory fatigue.

conclusionsIndividual oncology nurses present distinct self-regulatory fatigue profiles. Nursing administrators should conduct routine screening and evaluation, and implement interventions targeting these determinants to mitigate self-depletion, thereby advancing nurses’ professional well-being and nursing service quality.
