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 frequently encounter demanding clinical environments that require effective coping to maintain performance and well-being. Psychological resilience has been recognized as a key personal resource that enables nurses to adapt to occupational stress. However, organizational factors, such as nurses' perceptions of strategic planning, may also shape how resilience translates into effective coping strategies.

aimThis study aimed to examine the mediating role of strategic planning perception in the relationship between psychological resilience and coping strategies among nursing staff.

methodsA quantitative cross-sectional correlational design was employed. A nonprobability convenience sample of 379 nurses working at Qena University Hospital, Egypt, participated in the study. Data were collected using the Strategic Plan Perception Scale, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10), and the Coping Strategies Inventory Short Form (CSI-SF). Structural equation modeling (SEM) with path analysis was performed using SPSS and AMOS Version 23 to test the hypothesized mediation model while controlling for demographic and work-related variables. Bootstrapped confidence intervals were used to assess the significance of indirect effects.

resultsPsychological resilience showed a significant positive association with coping strategies (β = 0.312, p < 0.001) and strategic planning perception (β = 0.521, p < 0.001). Strategic planning perception was also positively associated with coping strategies (β = 0.213, p < 0.001). Mediation analysis revealed that strategic planning perception partially mediated the relationship between psychological resilience and coping strategies (indirect effect = 0.181, 95% CI [0.016, 0.088], p < 0.001), with the indirect effect accounting for approximately 37% of the total effect.

conclusionsStrategic planning perception was identified as an organizational mechanism associated with the relationship between psychological resilience and coping strategies among nursing staff. Both individual psychological resources and organizational planning processes were found to be related to nurses' responses to workplace stress. These findings suggest that integrated approaches simultaneously strengthening personal resilience and enhancing organizational communication and participatory planning may be beneficial. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nursing leaders may consider strengthening resilience development initiatives and promoting transparent and participatory strategic planning processes. Enhancing nurses' understanding and involvement in organizational planning may be associated with adaptive coping and contribute to workforce resilience. Future longitudinal research is needed to establish causal relationships and evaluate the effectiveness of integrated interventions targeting both personal and organizational resources.
