Horizontal Violence or Workplace Bullying Among Intensive Care Unit Nurses: A Mixed Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Journal of advanced nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
aimsTo synthesise literature about horizontal violence or workplace bullying among Intensive Care Unit nurses, exploring its awareness, factors, impacts, and strategies.
designFollowing PRISMA standards, a mixed systematic review using a narrative synthesis approach and thematic analysis design of the Joanna Briggs Institute. DATA SOURCES: Four electronic databases from 2013 to 2023 studies published were searched.
resultsEight studies were included: three qualitative and five quantitative. Four key themes emerged: (i) awareness and understanding of horizontal violence or workplace bullying, (ii) factors affecting horizontal violence or workplace bullying, (iii) impacts of horizontal violence or workplace bullying, and (iv) strategies to address horizontal violence or workplace bullying.
conclusionAddressing horizontal violence or workplace bullying requires hospitals should adopt conflict resolution policies, stress management programs, and supportive supervision to improve nurse retention. Nurse management should establish confidential reporting mechanisms, provide training on interpersonal respect, and implement supportive structures to promote psychological safety. Intensive care unit nurses are encouraged to take proactive steps to address workplace bullying, ensuring improved staff well-being and care quality. IMPACT: This paper addresses a significant gap in the literature regarding horizontal violence or workplace bullying among Intensive Care Unit nurses. The findings will impact on healthcare administrators, policymakers, and educators. By understanding horizontal violence or workplace bullying, strategies can be implemented to improve workplace environment, support nurses' well-being, increase nurse retention, and improve the quality of patient care.
