Effects of a psychological capital intervention on emergency nurses' work engagement and turnover intention: A randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundEmergency nurses are exposed to high occupational stress, which leads to decreased psychological capital, reduced work engagement, and high turnover intention. Evidence on targeted psychological capital intervention (PCI) for this population remains limited.
methodsA parallel randomized controlled trial was conducted. A total of 122 emergency nurses from a tertiary hospital in Zhejiang Province were randomly assigned to the intervention group (6-week PCI, n = 61) or the control group (routine training, n = 61). Outcomes were measured at baseline (T0), post-intervention (T1), 1 month (T2), and 3 months (T3) using the Psychological Capital Questionnaire, Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, and Turnover Intention Scale.
resultsBaseline characteristics and outcome scores were comparable between groups (all P > .05). At T1 to T3, the intervention group had significantly higher Psychological Capital Questionnaire and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale scores and lower Turnover Intention Scale scores than the control group (all P < .001). Psychological capital was positively correlated with work engagement (R = 0.604, P < .001) and negatively correlated with turnover intention (r = -0.624, P < .001).
conclusionThis 6-week PCI program significantly improves psychological capital and work engagement, and reduces turnover intention among emergency nurses, with effects sustained for at least 3 months. These findings support the utility of PCI as a psychological management strategy for emergency nursing staff.
