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

A few validated instruments exist in Arabic to assess Organizational commitment, which limits research and practical applications in Arabic-speaking contexts. This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt and validate the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire developed by Allen, Meyer and Smith (1993) for use in Arabic-speaking nurses. A cross-sectional study was conducted among nurses at Sahloul University Hospital in Sousse, Tunisia using a convenience sampling method. The main inclusion criterion was primarily having more than 6 months of work experience. The Organizational Commitment Questionnaire was translated following the guidelines of Vallerand (1989). Content validity was ensured by expert review, construct validity was examined through exploratory factor analysis, and reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha coefficients and intraclass correlation coefficients to evaluate internal consistency and stability. A total of 180 participants completed the Arabic OCQ. The Arabic scale showed a strong Pearson correlation with the original English version (r = 0.696,
