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

aimsTo examine whether professional quality of life, team cohesion, and organizational commitment were independently associated with intent to leave among nursing personnel.

backgroundPrior research links professional quality of life with turnover intention, but less is known about joint associations with team cohesion and multidimensional organizational commitment in nursing workforces.

methodsA cross-sectional electronic survey of 633 nursing personnel in North Dakota used validated measures. Pearson correlations, multiple regression, and post hoc nested regression were conducted.

resultsThe full model explained 47% of intent-to-leave variance. Burnout was positively associated with intent to leave (β = 0.40, p < 0.001), whereas affective commitment (β = -0.41, p < 0.001) and continuance commitment (β = -0.10, p = 0.003) were inversely associated. Secondary traumatic stress (STS) was positively correlated with intent to leave (r = 0.16) but negatively associated after adjustment (β = -0.11, p = 0.005); its coefficient reversed when burnout entered.

conclusionsIntent to leave was associated with occupational strain and organizational attachment. The STS reversal is consistent with statistical suppression and should not be interpreted as protective. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Findings identify burnout and affective commitment as priorities for prospective strategy testing. Longitudinal research should determine whether modifying these domains reduces intent to leave or turnover.
