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

Introduction: Despite the growing awareness of emotional intelligence (EI) as an essential component in healthcare, there remains yet a substantial lack in comprehending how EI promotes workplace wellbeing. This study examined how emotional intelligence influences job satisfaction and wellbeing among nurses and midwives in Qatar, focusing on fostering resilience in a multicultural, high-pressure setting. Methodology: This cross-sectional (convergent mixed-methods) study was carried out among nurses and midwives in a secondary hospital in Qatar after approval by the Institutional Review Board of Qatar. Our study included 121 registered nurses and midwives with at least 6 months of experience, fluent in English and Arabic, who consented and completed an online survey on seven EI domains. Descriptive statistics and inferential techniques were used for statistical analysis. Results: The overall mean EI score was 47.9 ± 7.4, with the highest proficiency in awareness of others (7.0 ± 1.7) and lower scores in emotional reasoning (5.9 ±1.8). Correlation analysis revealed a positive relationship between self-awareness and all other EI domains ( Conclusion: This study highlights the essential role of emotional intelligence in improving workplace wellbeing, decision-making, and team cohesion among nurses and midwives, advocating for its integration as a core competency in practice and education.
