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

backgroundIn the digital era, the nursing workplace has experienced profound changes, exposing nurses to complex career shocks. Existing professional studies often overemphasize individual agency in career development, neglecting how environmental stressors such as career shocks influence job performance through psychological mechanisms.

aimGrounded in the job demands-resources (JD-R) model, this research examines how positive and negative career shocks differently influence the job performance of nurses, paying particular attention to the moderating effect of psychological resilience.

methodsThis research employs a cross-sectional quantitative design. A total of 385 nurses were recruited through convenience sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was utilized to analyze the relationships among the variables via Mplus.

resultsThe findings show that both positive and negative career shocks have a positive relationship with nurses' job performance. Psychological resilience demonstrated a significant positive moderating effect on the relationship between positive career shocks and nurses' job performance, amplifying the beneficial effects of positive shocks; however, it showed no significant moderating effect on the link between negative career shocks and nurses' job performance.

conclusionThis study elucidates the influence pathways and mechanisms of positive and negative career shocks on nurses' job performance, thereby contributing to the advancement of nursing management research.
