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

backgroundThis study examines the relationship between work vigor, a core dimension of work engagement, and turnover intention among nursing professionals in Spain, drawing on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model.

methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted with 182 nurses from the Basque Country using the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9) and a three-item measure of turnover intention.

resultsData were analyzed through nonparametric statistics, including Spearman's correlation and group comparisons. Results revealed a significant negative association between vigor and turnover intention (ρ = -0.44, p < 0.001), indicating that nurses with higher levels of energy and resilience were less likely to consider leaving their jobs. Younger and nontenured professionals showed higher turnover intention scores. These findings suggest that vigor may represent a key psychological resource that is associated with lower withdrawal tendencies in demanding healthcare environments.

conclusionThe study highlights the need for HR and leadership practices that sustain nurses' energy and motivation as a potential way to address turnover risk and strengthen workforce stability. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nurse leaders should monitor nurses' energy and engagement levels, especially among younger and nontenured professionals, and may consider strategies such as supportive leadership, recognition, manageable workloads, mentoring, and career development opportunities to support workforce stability.
