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

backgroundOccupational burnout experienced by nurses can negatively affect patient safety and quality of care by contributing to problems such as adverse events, malpractice and healthcare-associated infections. Burnout can lead to negative consequences for nurses, patients, healthcare services and society.

objectiveThis study aims to develop a scale using mixed methods to assess nurses' perceptions of occupational burnout.

methodsIn the qualitative phase, 25 nurses were interviewed, and the scale was subsequently administered to a sample of 250 nurses for exploratory factor analysis. Four weeks later, the scale was readministered to 100 nurses selected from the same sample for confirmatory factor analysis and the assessment of test-retest reliability. Data were collected using the 'Qualitative Data Collection Form' and the 'Occupational Burnout Perception Scale for Nurses'. After the qualitative data were transcribed by the researchers, themes and codes were identified. The SPSS 23.0 software package was used to analyse the quantitative data.

resultsThrough content analysis, five themes and 14 codes were identified. A 25-item scale was developed based on the themes and codes identified. Through exploratory factor analysis, five items with low factor loadings and cross-loadings were removed from the scale. The analysis resulted in a five-factor structure consisting of 20 items.

conclusionsThe scale developed through a mixed-methods approach is recommended for use in studies evaluating nurses' perceptions of occupational burnout. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING LEADERSHIP: Furthermore, the developed scale may serve as a practical tool for nurse leaders to routinely monitor burnout levels, identify nurses at risk at an early stage and plan management strategies that promote staff well-being.
