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

backgroundTeam job crafting has emerged as an important organizational resource that may enhance nurses' professional functioning. However, its potential mechanisms in shaping nurses' career success remain insufficiently understood.

objectiveThis study examined the direct association between team job crafting and career success among nurses and explored the mediating roles of the three dimensions of Professional Quality of Life (ProQoL), including compassion satisfaction (CS), burnout (BO), and secondary traumatic stress (STS).

methodsThis secondary data analysis used cross-sectional survey data collected from a tertiary hospital in Sichuan Province, China, between January and March 2024. A total of 1870 nurses were included after data-quality screening. Validated Chinese versions of the Team Job Crafting Scale for Nurses, ProQoL scale, and Career Success Scale were administered. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, and structural equation modeling (SEM) with bias-corrected bootstrapping were conducted to test the hypothesized mediation model.

resultsTeam job crafting was positively associated with nurses' career success both directly (β = 0.113) and indirectly through two significant dimensions of ProQoL, CS and BO (total indirect effect β = 0.251, accounting for 69.0% of the total effect). Among these mediators, CS showed the strongest effect (β = 0.167; 45.9% of total effect), followed by BO (β = 0.095; 26.1% of total effect). In contrast, the mediating effect of STS was not significant (β = -0.011).

conclusionTeam job crafting is an important predictor of nurses' career success, operating primarily through increased CS and reduced BO. STS, however, does not appear to mediate this relationship. These findings highlight the potential value of team-based interventions that enhance CS and reduce BO to foster nurses' career success. Supportive team environments that promote positive professional experiences and mitigate emotional strain may, therefore, contribute to nurses' long-term career development.
