Gender and healthcare leadership: Addressing critical knowledge gaps by explicitly considering the gendered concept of care.
Article in Healthcare management forum, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This scoping review of gender and healthcare leadership synthesized the barriers and facilitators at multiple levels employing a framework that integrates a specific focus on the concept of care. The 71 sources identified focus predominantly on barriers to women's leadership at the individual and team level and, to a lesser extent, at the organizational and system level. Facilitators tend to be presented as recommended actions than evaluated interventions. Healthcare leadership tends to ignore the gendered context of care elevating leaders who are least likely to provide such care. Where personal caregiving circumstances are considered, they are individualized, reflecting the literature in general. More critical analysis is needed to focus on women's experiences and how their gender can predetermine their success in achieving and being in leadership positions. Healthcare leadership researchers are encouraged to include gender and care-focused analyses and interventions to address the under-representation of women in healthcare leadership.
