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

backgroundHealthcare systems contribute significantly to environmental pollution, energy consumption, and resource depletion, making sustainability an increasingly important environmental and public health priority. Nurses, as frontline healthcare professionals, play a critical role in promoting environmentally responsible practices and advocating for sustainable healthcare within clinical settings.

objectiveThe study aimed to examine the associations between nurses' sustainability consciousness, green advocacy, and work grit in hospital settings.

methodsA descriptive cross-sectional correlational study was conducted among 377 nurses working in two university-affiliated hospitals in Egypt. Data were collected using validated instruments assessing sustainability consciousness, green advocacy, and work grit. Descriptive statistics were calculated to summarize participant characteristics and study variables. Associations among sustainability consciousness, green advocacy, and work grit were examined using Pearson correlation analysis. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to identify significant predictors of green advocacy, while noting that the study design allows for identification of associations rather than causal relationships.

resultsThe findings indicated generally high levels of sustainability consciousness among nurses. Significant positive associations were observed between sustainability consciousness, green advocacy, and work grit (

conclusionsThese findings highlight the interconnected roles of sustainability awareness, advocacy behaviors, and psychological resilience in promoting environmentally sustainable healthcare practices. Strengthening nurses' sustainability consciousness and work grit may enhance green advocacy and contribute to the development of sustainable healthcare systems, supporting global environmental and public health goals aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
