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
aimThis study aimed to identify factors associated with quiet quitting and perceived quiet firing among nurses and to examine the mediating role of work stress and the exploratory serial indirect association involving perceived quiet firing in the relationship between compulsory citizenship behavior and quiet quitting.
methodA cross-sectional, model-testing design was employed with 624 nurses from three public hospitals. Sample size was determined pragmatically by inviting all eligible nurses not on long-term leave. Because all eligible nurses were invited during the study period, an a priori power analysis was not considered necessary. Instead, the sample size was pragmatically determined based on the accessible population. Statistical analyses included Pearson's correlation, multivariate linear regression using the enter method, and regression-based bootstrap mediation analyses, including simple mediation models and an exploratory PROCESS Model 6 serial mediation model with 5000 resamples and 95% bias-corrected confidence intervals (BCIs).
resultsIncreases in general work stress and compulsory citizenship behavior were significantly associated with higher perceptions of quiet quitting and quiet firing. In addition, general work stress partially mediated the relationship between compulsory citizenship behavior and nurses' perceptions of quiet quitting and quiet firing.
conclusionThese findings highlight the importance of improving nurses' working conditions, ensuring alignment between duties and job descriptions, and encouraging active participation in decision-making. IMPLICATION FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nursing managers should address organizational conditions associated with work-related stress and perceived involuntary resignation. Regular feedback mechanisms, workload monitoring, and inclusive decision-making processes may help strengthen commitment and reduce disengagement among nurses.
