Leadership in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Healthcare Workplaces: A Scoping Review.
Article in Journal of advanced nursing, 2026. 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
aimTo map the existing literature and research themes related to leadership in culturally and linguistically diverse healthcare workplaces and identify potential research gaps to guide future studies.
designA scoping review.
methodsThe review followed the Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review methodology. A total of 15,078 studies were imported into Covidence for screening. Results were analysed using inductive content analysis. DATA SOURCES: Searches were conducted on CINAHL, Medline (Ovid), ProQuest, Scopus, and the Finnish Medic database. Unpublished studies and grey literature were searched using MedNar. The scoping review included published and unpublished original studies in English, Finnish, and Swedish with no time or geographical limits.
resultsThe review included 19 studies. This scoping review identified four main categories of leadership in culturally and linguistically diverse healthcare workplaces: promoting cultural adaptation, being a cultural mediator, ensuring competence development and continuous education, and developing culturally sensitive leadership.
conclusionsLeaders should adopt a supportive and open leadership style to promote cultural adaptation in culturally and linguistically diverse workplaces. Leaders' cultural competence can be enhanced through continuous education and training. Leaders should provide competence development opportunities for all employees in culturally and linguistically diverse workplaces. The findings highlight the need for more research (e.g., educational intervention studies) to understand the challenges and opportunities of leading a diverse workforce in a healthcare setting. IMPLICATIONS FOR HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT: The findings highlight the importance of leadership in promoting cultural adaptation and inclusive environments in culturally and linguistically diverse workplaces. Leaders should continually develop their cultural competence to effectively lead culturally and linguistically diverse workplaces. Developing culturally sensitive leadership requires strong communication skills and cultural understanding to promote inclusion. IMPACT: Our review's results underscore the need for healthcare organisations to embrace leadership practices that are inclusive and culturally competent in increasingly diverse workplaces. As the workforce becomes more diverse, it is important to understand how leadership characteristics influence culturally and linguistically diverse healthcare workplaces. REPORTING
