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

backgroundThe nursing profession faces significant stressors, leading to psychological distress, which can increase turnover intentions. Understanding the interplay between these factors and the role of self-growth is crucial for improving nurse retention. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis descriptive correlational study involved 232 registered nurses in Oman, recruited via convenience sampling from various healthcare facilities. Participants were eligible if they held a nursing diploma or higher, had at least six months of experience, and were proficient in English. Data were collected through an online survey distributed via social media platforms in March 2025, utilizing standardized instruments to measure psychological distress (K10), self-growth (PGIS), and turnover intention (TIS). Data analysis included descriptive statistics,

resultsHigh levels of psychological distress (mean = 24.65) correlated with increased turnover intentions (mean = 18.48). Self-growth significantly moderates this relationship, reducing the adverse effects of distress on turnover intentions.

conclusionThe importance of addressing psychological distress and promoting self-growth among nurses is emphasized. It is recommended that tailored interventions, such as mentorship and stress management programs, be adopted to enhance resilience and job satisfaction. Supporting nurses' well-being and development is seen as vital for reducing turnover and improving patient care. Healthcare environments should be prioritized to foster self-growth and reduce distress, with structured programs proposed to benefit nurses and improve overall care quality.
