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

aimsThis study describes nurse leaders' experiences of nursing leadership in Finland towards Magnet hospital culture.

designThis is a qualitative descriptive study.

methodsThe data from nurse leaders (n = 9) were collected in face-to-face or online interviews in June and August 2023 in Finland and analysed using an inductive content analysis approach.

resultsExcellent nursing leadership consists of possibilities for impact, the determination of responsibilities, strong leadership in the organisation, interpersonal leadership, the empowerment of nurses' excellence and nursing leadership development. In addition, excellent nursing leadership creates the basis for development structures and nurses' participation in a Magnet culture framework.

conclusionExcellent nursing leadership requires ability and opportunities for impact, clear responsibilities and strong interpersonal competencies so that nurses are empowered to strive for excellence. Strong nursing leadership is needed to enable functioning structures that produce efficient processes that can be used to maintain and develop the quality of nursing work in the direction of Magnet culture. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION: Nurse leaders' status and power must be recognised and legislated as equally as those of other professional leaders in social and health care. IMPACT: This study addresses nurse leaders' remarkable role in nursing development towards Magnet hospital culture. At the same time, it discusses their uncertain position in the decision-making process of the organisation. REPORTING

methodCOREQ guidelines were used in reporting. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: None.
