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
Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD) nurses played a critical role during the COVID-19 pandemic, managing the collection, cleaning, disinfection, sterilization, and distribution of medical instruments. Their workload and occupational risk increased sharply. However, research on the relationship between CSSD nurses' job insecurity and work passion, as well as the underlying mechanisms, remains scarce, especially from an individual-centered perspective that explores psychological heterogeneity within this nurse population. To address these gaps, we recruited 496 CSSD nurses from 26 secondary and tertiary hospitals across Sichuan, China, between September and October 2025. The survey included scales measuring job insecurity, work passion, organizational identification, and demographic variables. Structural equation modeling was used to examine the mediating role of organizational identification, while latent profile analysis identified subgroups based on job insecurity and organizational identification, and compared differences in work passion across these profiles. Results revealed a significant negative correlation between job insecurity and work passion among CSSD nurses in the post-COVID-19 context, with organizational identification partially mediating this relationship. Latent profile analysis identified three distinct subgroups: "High Job Insecurity-Low Organizational Identification," "Moderate Job Insecurity-Moderate Organizational Identification," and "Low Job Insecurity-High Organizational Identification," with the latter exhibiting the highest levels of work passion. This study elucidates the dual-perspective mechanism linking job insecurity and work passion among CSSD nurses in the post-COVID-19 context. The findings provide empirical support for hospital administrators to develop stratified, targeted psychological support strategies, emphasizing the enhancement of organizational identification to buffer the negative impact of job insecurity on nurses' work passion.
