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
introductionNurses are highly susceptible to musculoskeletal disorders, with psychosocial workplace factors contributing to increased risk. However, the underlying mechanisms of this association remain unclear. This study explores the mediating role of stress in the link between psychosocial factors and musculoskeletal disorders among nurses.
methodA survey was conducted with 155 nurses at an academic hospital in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, from December 2023 to February 2024. Data were gathered on psychosocial factors-including work demands, interpersonal relations and leadership, work-individual interface, social capital, health and well-being-alongside stress and musculoskeletal disorders. The analysis was performed using partial least squares structural equation modelling via SmartPLS software.
resultsFindings indicated that stress acts as a mediator in the relationship between psychosocial factors and musculoskeletal disorders. Among the five psychosocial dimensions examined, interpersonal relations and leadership had the most significant indirect effect on musculoskeletal disorders via stress. Complementary mediation suggested additional mechanisms linking psychosocial factors and musculoskeletal disorders.
conclusionThis study underscores the significant role of stress in shaping how psychosocial factors influence musculoskeletal disorders. Organizations should manage psychosocial factors to reduce stress and mitigate MSDs, promoting better nurse well-being and work outcomes.
