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

aimTo identify associations of problem-solving abilities, coping styles and compassion fatigue among paediatric nurses and further explore whether problem-solving abilities can play a mediating role.

designA cross-sectional study.

methodsThe study surveyed 552 nurses working in a public hospital in Hubei Province, China. The data were analysed using descriptive statistical methods, Pearson correlation analysis and the PROCESS macro in the regression analysis.

resultsThe results of the mediated effect showed that paediatric nurses' coping style positively associated with compassion fatigue and problem-solving ability, as a mediating variable, indirectly associated with compassion fatigue. Problem-solving ability accounted for a significant portion of the association between compassion fatigue and coping style in paediatric nurses (95% CI 0.1158-0.3081) with an indirect association proportion of 46.7%.

conclusionPositive coping styles were associated with lower compassion fatigue in paediatric nurses and accounted for variance in compassion fatigue through problem-solving abilities. Enhancing paediatric nurses' critical thinking can change the pattern of nurses' thinking about problems in their work, thus increasing nurses' satisfaction with nursing care and establishing a good relationship between the patient and health care. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: This study involves no patient or public contribution.
