Thriving at Work and Associated Factors Among Nurses at a Chinese Stomatological Hospital: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of nursing management, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimTo describe thriving at work among oral healthcare nurses and examine its associations with personality traits, empowering leadership, and department.
backgroundEvidence on thriving at work in oral healthcare nursing and across dental departments remains limited.
methodsA single-center cross-sectional census survey was conducted in a Chinese stomatological hospital. Data from 190 female nurses were analyzed using group comparisons, Pearson correlations, a Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and standard multiple linear regression.
resultsThe mean total Thriving at Work Scale score was 52.42 ± 8.89, and Learning scores were higher than Vitality scores. The regression model explained 51.9% of the variance. Neuroticism was negatively associated with thriving, whereas Conscientiousness and Extraversion were positively associated with it. After simultaneous adjustment, nurses in Pediatric Dentistry had lower thriving scores than those in General Dentistry. The association with empowering leadership was less stable across sensitivity analyses.
conclusionsThriving was associated with individual dispositions and departments in this single-center sample; causal inferences cannot be made. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Managers may consider assessing both Learning and Vitality and further investigating the lower thriving observed in Pediatric Dentistry. Personality findings should be used only to guide equitable, non-stigmatizing support.
