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

introductionEffective time management is crucial for nurses, and identifying factors contributing to time-wasting behaviors is a key component of time management. Currently, China lacks validated, standardized tools for assessing time wasters among nurses. This study is designed to adapt the Nurses Time-Wasters Questionnaire into a Chinese version and to evaluate the reliability and validity of this adapted instrument within a population of Chinese nurses.

methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in China from September to November 2025, recruiting 330 nurses through convenience sampling. The translation process used the forward-backward translation method. Content validity was assessed by consulting 10 experts and calculating I-CVI and S-CVI/Ave values. Construct validity was assessed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA; n = 130) followed by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA; n = 200). Internal consistency reliability was measured with Cronbach's α coefficient. All analyses were conducted in SPSS 27.0 and AMOS 29.0.

resultsAll items were retained, with only some items undergoing cultural adaptation modifications. Adequate sampling was indicated by the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) score of 0.960. The data's eligibility for factor analysis was confirmed by the significant Bartlett's test of sphericity (χ

conclusionThe Chinese version of the Nurses Time-Wasters Questionnaire demonstrates good reliability and validity, making it a reliable and effective measurement tool for assessing time-wasting behaviors among clinical nurses in China.
