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

backgroundNurses have become one of the groups with a high incidence of presenteeism. To date, little is known about the current state of presenteeism among pediatric nurses and the underlying mechanisms linking perceived organizational support to presenteeism. This study aims to examine the correlation between perceived organizational support and presenteeism and to test the mediating role of professional identity in this relationship among Chinese pediatric nurses using a cross-sectional design.

methodsThis research investigated 485 pediatric nurses from three tertiary hospitals in Weifang City, Shandong Province, China. Data analyses were conducted using independent sample t-tests, Pearson correlation, one-way analysis of variance, multivariate linear regression, and the Process 4.0 macro.

resultsThe total score of presenteeism was (14.91 ± 5.05). Correlation analysis showed that perceived organizational support(r=-0.307, P<0.001), professional identity(r = 0.344, P<0.001)and presenteeism showed a negative correlation. Regression analysis showed that nurses’ children’s situation (β = 0.153, t = 3.122, P = 0.002) had a significant positive effect on hidden absenteeism, and the presence of an administrative position (β=-0.103, t=-2.149, P = 0.032), instrumental support (t=-2.650, P = 0.008), and perceived professional benefits (β=-0.023, t=-2.501, P = 0.013) had a significant negative effect. The mediation analysis indicated that professional identity (Effect=-0.076, 95%CI=[-0.297, -0.017]), partially mediated the relationship between perceived organizational support and presenteeism, with the mediating effect accounting for 39.2%.

conclusionThe findings demonstrate that professional identity partially mediates the effect of perceived organizational support on presenteeism. Interventions aimed at providing tangible instrumental support and enhancing perceptions of professional benefits could be effective strategies for mitigating presenteeism among pediatric nurses.
