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

backgroundOrganizational virtuousness may be associated with proactive work behavior in healthcare organizations. However, the psychological processes underlying this association remain insufficiently understood.

aimThis study aimed to examine the indirect association between organizational virtuousness and proactive work behavior through psychological well-being among nurses.

methodsThis cross-sectional study included a convenience sample of 206 nurses recruited from a renal and urology hospital in Minia Governorate, Egypt. Data were collected between April and June 2025 using self-reported questionnaires comprising three validated scales and a demographic form. Structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesized associations.

resultsOrganizational virtuousness was positively associated with nurses' psychological well-being (B = 0.91, p < 0.001) and proactive work behavior (B = 0.49, p < 0.001). Psychological well-being was also positively associated with proactive work behavior (B = 0.21, p < 0.001). Furthermore, organizational virtuousness showed a significant indirect association with proactive work behavior through psychological well-being (B = 0.19, p = 0.006; BC 95% CI [0.07, 0.37]).

conclusionOrganizational virtuousness was positively associated with nurses' proactive work behavior both directly and indirectly through psychological well-being. These findings suggest that a positive organizational climate characterized by virtuous practices may be relevant to nurses' psychological well-being and proactive workplace behavior. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nursing leaders should consider fostering organizational environments characterized by virtuous practices, including supportive leadership, recognition, respectful communication, and policies that reinforce ethical conduct. Such practices may be associated with nurses' psychological well-being and proactive workplace behavior and may contribute to improved patient care and organizational effectiveness.
