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
backgroundThe transition from student to professional nurse represents a significant challenge for Newly Graduated Nurses (NGNs). The first year of practice is often considered a critical period of adaptation, during which transition shock and the level of work engagement can significantly influence their intention to remain in the profession. PURPOSE: This study investigated the mediating role of work engagement in the relationship between transition shock and maintaining professional membership among NGNs.
methodsA total of 374 NGNs employed at a city hospital constituted the participants in this correlational and cross-sectional study. Three scales were used to collect data: the Nursing Transition Shock Scale, the Maintaining Professional Membership Scale, and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-3). Data were collected between April 2024 and May 2024.
resultsThe mean level of transition shock among NGNs was indicating moderate shock, while the mean scores for maintaining professional membership and work engagement were above average. Transition shock was found to have a negative effect on maintaining professional membership. In addition, work engagement had an indirect effect on the correlation between transition shock and maintaining professional membership. LINKING EVIDENCE TO ACTION: Work engagement plays a vital mediating role in buffering the negative impact of transition shock on newly graduated nurses. Healthcare leaders can enhance nurses' ability to maintain their professional membership and reduce turnover by implementing targeted strategies that actively foster work engagement and ease the transition to practice.
