Chinese nurses' perceptions on toxic leadership behaviours of nurse managers: A qualitative study.
Article in Journal of nursing management, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
aimThe aim of this study is to explore the perceptions of Chinese registered nurses on toxic leadership behaviours of nurse managers and to determine its type, cause and response measures.
backgroundThe nurse manager is the front-line leader of the nurses who provide services directly to patients. Previous evidence suggests that toxic leadership behaviours of nurse managers do exist and it is necessary to understand the specifics of it.
methodsWe used phenomenological research methods to conduct semi-structured in-depth interviews among 12 nurses at a tertiary hospital in Wuhan over the period from January to March 2022. And the data were analysed using Colaizzi seven-step analysis method.
resultsFour themes were discovered: (a) nurses' perceptions of toxic leadership behaviours; (b) toxic leadership behaviours of nurse managers; (c) reasons for toxic leadership behaviours of nurse managers and (d) measures for toxic leadership behaviours of nurse managers.
conclusionChinese nurses are exposed to the toxic leadership of nurse managers for multiple reasons and respond differently. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: This study helps nursing managers identify which behaviours are harmful to the nurse that require special attention in developing strategies to buffer against nurse managers' toxic leadership.
