Implementation of the Chief Nursing Officer for England's National Strategy for Nursing Research in Mental Health Service Provider Organisations: A Mixed-Methods Study.
Article in Journal of psychiatric and mental health nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundIn 2021, the Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) for England launched the strategic plan for research with the aim of empowering nurses to lead, participate in, and deliver research. AIM AND
objectivesTo determine whether mental health service providers have engaged with the CNO's strategy, the extent to which they have developed research leadership roles for nurses, and to identify their related plans.
methodA convergent mixed-methods (quantitative plus qualitative) study was conducted. Data were gathered from an online census survey of informants from English NHS mental health service provider organisations, freedom of information requests and web searches. Quantitative data were analysed descriptively, and qualitative data were analysed thematically.
resultsInformation was elicited regarding 40/51 relevant provider organisations, n = 14 from survey responses and n = 26 from Freedom of Information requests. In a subset of provider organisations, dedicated roles for nursing research leadership had been developed, but they lacked consistency in terms of focus, responsibilities and pay grade. We did not identify any specific nursing research strategies; organisation-wide strategies generally covered all clinical professional groups. DISCUSSION: The CNOs strategy has had limited influence on providers' research strategy developments. Some provider organisations have actively developed their plans to boost nursing research, but others need to increase their efforts to do likewise or risk missing out on the benefits that accrue to research-active services, their staff, and service users. We make recommendations for future activity aimed at strengthening nursing research leadership in provider organisations. RELEVANCE TO MENTAL HEALTH NURSING: Mental health nursing aspires to be an evidence-based profession, but the contribution made by nurses to the evidence through the conduct and, particularly, the leadership of clinical research has lagged behind that of professional colleagues. Recent attempts to build capacity and capability for research in the mental health nursing workforce have had unclear take-up and impact. This paper describes how one such initiative, the Chief Nursing Officer for England's strategy for nursing research, has been used in mental health service provider organisations in England.
