Organizational and Musculoskeletal Factors of Job Satisfaction and Work Ability Among Critical Care Nurses: A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Nursing research and practice, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Background: Nursing shortage is a global challenge driven by the imbalance between the number of nurses entering and leaving the profession, with job satisfaction (JS) and work ability (WA) as key retention factors influenced by organizational and health conditions, including musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Although critical care nurses experience high MSDs, low JS, and reduced WA, their interrelationships remain underexplored. Aims: This multicenter cross-sectional study investigated individual, organizational, and musculoskeletal factors associated with JS and WA among intensive care unit (ICU) and emergency department (ED) nurses. Methods: Data were collected using a researcher-developed questionnaire assessing individual, organizational, and MSD-related variables, together with validated instruments assessing upper-limb disability and symptoms (DASH), Work Ability Index (WAI), and JS (COPSOQ II). Multivariable regression was performed. Results: Participants reported moderate JS (3.4 ± 0.9) and good WA (41.3 ± 5.4). Lower JS was associated with ICU employment ( Conclusions: A multidisciplinary, multilevel, and multicomponent approach may support JS and WA and inform strategies to reduce MSD-related burden and promote nurse retention.
