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

This paper aims to understand the status quo of structural empowerment of clinical nurses and analyze its influencing factors to provide references for optimizing nursing management. A cross-sectional survey of 333 clinical nurses was conducted using the Chinese version of the Conditions for Work Effectiveness Questionnaire-II (CWEQ-II) for Medical Staff and the Psychological Capital Scale. The total score of clinical nurses' structural empowerment was (57.45 ± 9.28), and the average score of structural empowerment was (3.02 ± 0.49). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that marital status, highest educational background, position, employment method, and mental health training experience were the main influencing factors of nurses' structural empowerment level (P < .05). Correlation analysis showed that the total score of structural empowerment was significantly positively correlated with the total score of psychological capital (r = 0.449, P < .001). The level of structural empowerment of clinical nurses is at a moderate level and is affected by many factors. Medical institutions and nursing managers should take effective improvement measures according to its influencing factors to improve the level of structural empowerment of clinical nurses, optimize nursing management, and help the development of the nursing career.
