Article in Journal of research in nursing : JRN, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Nurse shortages are intensified by retirement and early career exits. Well-being at work is critical for retention, yet research has primarily focused on burdensome factors at work: stress and burnout. Positive aspects of well-being and the role of employment relationships remain underexplored. Aim: To describe nurses' experiences of resources that promote well-being at work. Methods: A qualitative interview study was conducted in Finland in 2021. Seventeen nurses participated in individual interviews, and data were analysed using content analysis. Results: Resources enhancing well-being at work were grouped into four main categories: Professional fulfilment and growth, Supportive and sustainable working conditions, Organisational resources and culture and Employment flexibility. These categories included 11 subcategories, reflecting factors such as opportunities for career advancement, moderate workload, benefits and flexible employment contracts. Conclusions: Nurses' well-being at work can be supported at individual, working community and organisational levels. Policies should promote flexible employment relationships, enable professional development and strengthen organisational practices that foster well-being. Legislative frameworks and organisational strategies are essential to improve retention and address workforce sustainability in nursing.
