Perceived Communication and Cooperation with Physicians and Nurses and Occupational Outcomes Among Medical Social Workers in China: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 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/
objectivesMedical social work is performed in hospital teams, but evidence remains limited on how medical social workers' perceived communication and cooperation with physicians and nurses are associated with occupational outcomes.
methodsUsing the medical social work module of the China Social Work Longitudinal Survey 2019 (CSWLS2019), this cross-sectional study examined job satisfaction, personal accomplishment, self-rated service quality, and emotional exhaustion. We constructed a four-item communication-and-cooperation index and estimated ordinary least squares (OLS) models with HC3 heteroskedasticity-robust standard errors and city fixed effects. Robustness and exploratory supplementary checks assessed sample definition, alternative specifications, single-item ordered logit models, decomposed components, moderation, and a supplementary seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) system.
resultsThe index was positively associated with job satisfaction (
conclusionsThe findings should be interpreted as exploratory associational evidence rather than causal effects. Perceived communication and cooperation with physicians and nurses appear more consistently linked to favorable occupational evaluations than to emotional exhaustion among medical social workers in China.
