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

aimThis study aimed to examine the association between job satisfaction and psychological resilience among nurses and to explore differences in these scores according to selected demographic, occupational, and lifestyle-related characteristics.

backgroundJob satisfaction and psychological resilience are important work-related and psychological constructs in nursing. Examining their association may provide insight into nurses' occupational experiences and inform future workforce-support strategies.

methodsA descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational design was used. Data were collected through an online self-administered questionnaire from 427 nurses working in public, private, and university hospitals in Ankara, Türkiye. The Job Satisfaction Scale and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-Short Form were administered. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, independent-samples t tests, and one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey HSD post-hoc tests when appropriate.

findingsJob satisfaction was positively correlated with psychological resilience (r = .418, p <.001). Statistically significant differences in job satisfaction and psychological resilience scores were observed across selected demographic, occupational, institutional, and lifestyle-related characteristics. DISCUSSION: The findings indicate a positive association between job satisfaction and psychological resilience. Observed group differences warrant further investigation using longitudinal and multivariable study designs.

conclusionJob satisfaction and psychological resilience were positively associated in this sample of nurses. The findings support further investigation of individual, occupational, and institutional characteristics associated with these constructs. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: The observed association between job satisfaction and psychological resilience highlights the relevance of considering both constructs when assessing nurses' occupational experiences. Nursing managers may consider evidence-informed workforce-support strategies, while intervention studies are needed to determine their effectiveness. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING AND HEALTH POLICY: The findings may inform future research and policy discussions concerning nurse workforce support; however, policy interventions should be guided by longitudinal and intervention-based evidence.
