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
Background: The primary focus of work-integrated learning for newly graduated registered nurses is the ongoing development of professional roles, knowledge, and skills. Little is known about how integrating such learning into daily work could influence newly graduated registered nurses' experiences of job satisfaction and stress. The Design: This study employed a cross-sectional research design. Settings: A survey was distributed to a sample of newly graduated registered nurses employed at two rural hospitals and one university hospital in Sweden, across departments such as emergency, medical, and surgical units. Participants: A total of 221 newly graduated registered nurses within their first two years of practice participated in the study. Methods: The survey included demographic data, as well as the instruments Experienced Work-Integrated Learning, the Short Index of Job Satisfaction, and the Single-Item Measure of Stress Symptoms. Two multiple regression models were analysed to explore associations between the variables. Results: The results indicate that the experienced learning dimension 'Developing a relational nursing role' is positively related to job satisfaction (β: .18; C.I: -.00, .39; p: .05) and that the experienced learning dimension 'Striving for confidence in medical-technical performance' is negatively related to stress (β: -.29; C.I: -.06, .18; p: .03). Conclusion: Our findings indicate that learning plays a role in increasing job satisfaction and reducing stress among newly graduated registered nurses. It is recommended that healthcare organizations should prioritize work-integrated learning opportunities, which are essential for the development of both relational nursing roles and medical-technical competencies, in both daily clinical practice and emergency situations.
