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: Healthcare workers in private hospitals may experience substantial psychological challenges due to demanding work environments and organizational characteristics. Psychological resilience has been recognized as an important personal resource associated with psychological wellbeing, whereas job satisfaction represents a key motivational factor related to occupational functioning. However, the relationships among psychological resilience, job satisfaction, and anxiety symptoms among healthcare workers in private hospitals remain insufficiently understood. This study aimed to examine the associations between psychological resilience, job satisfaction, and anxiety symptoms, and to explore whether job satisfaction statistically explains the association between psychological resilience and anxiety symptoms. Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional survey was conducted among healthcare workers from 10 private hospitals in Lanzhou, China. Participants were recruited using a convenience sampling approach. Psychological resilience, job satisfaction, and anxiety symptoms were assessed using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), a newly developed 13-item job satisfaction scale, and the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), respectively. Descriptive analyses, correlation analyses, multiple linear regression analyses, and mediation analyses using bootstrap methods were performed to examine the associations among study variables. Results: A total of 1,263 healthcare workers were included in the analysis. Psychological resilience was positively associated with job satisfaction and negatively associated with anxiety symptom scores ( Conclusions: Psychological resilience and job satisfaction were significantly associated with anxiety symptoms among healthcare workers in private hospitals. These findings highlight the potential relevance of personal psychological resources and job-related experiences in understanding healthcare workers' psychological wellbeing. However, longitudinal studies are needed to further clarify the directionality and causal mechanisms underlying these relationships.
