Organizational support and motivation associated with nurse work engagement: evidence from Saudi Arabia.
Article in BMC health services research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundSustaining an engaged nursing workforce is essential for improving healthcare system performance and addressing global workforce shortages. However, limited evidence exists regarding the combined influence of motivation and organizational support on nurse engagement in Middle Eastern contexts.
methodsA descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 166 registered nurses working in three tertiary hospitals in Saudi Arabia. Data were collected using validated scales measuring motivation, perceived organizational support, and work engagement. Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were performed.
resultsNurses reported high motivation, moderate organizational support, and moderate work engagement. Organizational support was the factor most strongly associated with work engagement (β = 0.578, p < 0.001), while motivation was not a significant independently associated factor in the multivariate model. Organizational support was positively correlated with both motivation and work engagement.
conclusionsOrganizational support is a critical job resource that significantly enhances nurse work engagement. Strengthening supportive work environments may improve workforce retention and healthcare system performance. These findings highlight the importance of system-level interventions in promoting workforce sustainability. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
