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

backgroundAs the demand for healthcare services continues to grow, the workplace spirituality of nurses is becoming increasingly important as a cornerstone of career development, helping to alleviate burnout and promote mental health. However, the current academic focus is mostly limited to internal factors of the hospital, while discussions on how work-to-family promotion positively affects the workplace spirituality of nurses remain relatively scarce and in-depth research on the mechanism is still lacking. The purpose of this study was to explore the mediating role of emotional rumination and the moderating effect of intrinsic motivation in the relationship between work-to-family promotion and workplace spirituality of nurses.

methodsThe study cohort consisted of 1879 nurses recruited from four tertiary grade A hospitals in Heilongjiang Province, China. The work family conflict scale, work rumination scale, workplace mental scale, and work preference scale were used to gather data. Correlation among the scores of the scales were explored using Pearson correlation analysis. A chain mediation model was constructed and the mediation regulation effect was tested with the bootstrap method.

resultsWork-to-family promotion was significantly positively correlated with the workplace spirituality of nurses (r = 0.308, p < 0.01). Emotional rumination plays an intermediary role between work-to-family promotion and workplace spirituality (95% CI: 0.252, 0.645), and intrinsic motivation plays a regulatory role between emotional rumination and workplace spirituality (95% CI: -0.010, -0.001).

conclusionsThe moderating mediation model revealed the mechanisms underlying the effect of work-to-family promotion on the workplace spirituality of nurses. Nursing educators should pay more attention to the influence of emotional rumination and intrinsic motivation on workplace spirituality. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
