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

backgroundGlobal healthcare systems face increasing pressure from rapidly ageing populations and persistent nursing workforce shortages. These challenges are particularly pronounced in geriatric care, where nurses must meet complex clinical demands while sustaining long-term, emotionally intensive care.

aimThis study aimed to examine the relationship between the nursing work environment and resilience among nurses working in geriatric facilities in Hanoi, Vietnam.

methodsA descriptive, cross-sectional correlational design was employed. Data were collected from 222 nurses across six geriatric facilities in Hanoi. The Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI, short version) and a standardised resilience measurement tool were used. Pearson's correlation coefficient was applied to assess associations between variables.

resultsNurses perceived their work environment as generally supportive, particularly regarding leadership and care quality, despite lower ratings for resource adequacy. A statistically significant moderate positive correlation was found between the overall work environment and nurse resilience (r = 0.534, p = 0.001). Subdomain analyses revealed a nuanced pattern: while a strong focus on nursing care was positively associated with stress management capacities, it was inversely related to aspects reflecting personal balance, suggesting potential tensions between professional adaptability and personal boundary maintenance.

conclusionA supportive work environment is fundamentally associated with higher resilience among geriatric nurses. However, resilience in this context appears multidimensional, whereby professional coping strengths may coexist with challenges in maintaining personal balance. Organisational support is therefore essential not only for enhancing resilience but also for sustaining the long-term well-being of the geriatric nursing workforce. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nursing managers should prioritise culturally responsive leadership and participatory decision-making while addressing structural factors such as staffing and resource allocation. Organisational interventions that balance professional demands with personal sustainability are critical to fostering resilient geriatric nursing practice.
