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: The global shortage of nurses and their decrease in workplace-related wellbeing is a major public health challenge. It was intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic and is further driven by high job demands, lacking resources and reduced work engagement. Understanding organizational and individual factors that support nurses' engagement is therefore crucial. Objective: This study aims to examine how job resources - perceived organizational support and community support at work-relate to work engagement among nurses, and whether particular personal resources (self-efficacy and ego-resiliency) and job crafting mediate these relationships. Methods: To check the assumed effects, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among 270 female-only nurses employed at a large polish university hospital with 38 units and approximately 150 000 hospitalizations/year. Validated instruments were used to assess the degree of work engagement, perceived organizational support, community support at work, self-efficacy, ego-resiliency, and job crafting. Mediation analyses were conducted, controlling for relevant sociodemographic and occupational variables. Results: Perceived organizational support (POS) and community support at work were positively associated with work engagement when analyzed separately [for POS as the independent variable: B = 1.185, 95% CI = (0.872, 1.498), Conclusion: The findings highlight the importance of supportive organizational environments and proactive work behaviors in enhancing nurses' engagement, emphasizing the need of interventions which strengthen leadership support, foster personal resources, and enable job crafting.
