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

aimAssess well-being and burnout among nurses at a large acute-care medical center and examine emotional labor and emotional intelligence factors associated with nurse well-being.

backgroundNurse burnout threatens retention, care quality, and organizational performance globally. Although staffing and workload are established contributors, the influence of emotional labor and emotional intelligence is less understood. METHOD(S): A cross-sectional survey was conducted from November 2024 to May 2025 at a 435-bed acute-care medical center in Central Texas, United States. Registered nurses (n = 103) completed validated measures of well-being, emotional labor, and emotional intelligence. We conducted descriptive statistics, regression analyses, and qualitative content analysis of open-ended responses.

resultsPoorer well-being was significantly associated with lower emotional intelligence, particularly self-control, and higher emotional labor demands. The regression model was statistically significant and explained 28% of the variance in Well-Being Index scores, where higher scores indicate poorer well-being (adjusted R CONCLUSION(S): Nurse well-being is influenced by both emotional processes and workplace conditions. Improvement strategies should combine organizational change with interventions that strengthen emotional regulation skills. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nurse managers should implement routine well-being assessments, safe staffing, equitable recognition, and development programs supporting nurses' perceived capacity to regulate stress and manage emotions. This study identifies modifiable predictors of nurse well-being, informing retention and healthier work environments.
