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

backgroundPersonality development plays an essential role in shaping cross-cultural competences, with the emotional-motivational aspect being crucial.

objectiveTo assess cross-cultural competences and cultural intelligence among nurses in Poland and to examine their associations with personality traits. DESIGN AND

settingA nationwide, cross-sectional mixed-mode survey conducted between 2022 and 2024 among 606 nurses from all Polish voivodeships.

methodsStandardized tools were used: Cross-Cultural Competence Inventory (CCCI), Cultural Intelligence Scale (CQS), and NEO-FFI Personality Inventory.

resultsDescriptively, the mean item score was 3.72 for cross-cultural competence and 3.65 for cultural intelligence. Descriptively, CCCI subscale mean item scores ranged from 2.61 for "tolerance" to 4.54 for "mission". Extraversion, agreeableness, openness, and conscientiousness were positively associated with cross-cultural competence, whereas neuroticism was negatively associated with it. No significant link.

conclusionsThe findings describe cross-cultural competence and cultural intelligence scores among Polish nurses and show significant associations with selected personality traits. REGISTRATION: Not registered.
