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

Objective: This study evaluates the interplay between nursing leadership, innovative self-efficacy, and evidence-based practice competencies, aiming to identify predictive factors for enhancing nursing performance in evidence-based care. Methods: A convenience sampling strategy was employed to enlist 1104 clinical nurses from a tertiary A-level general hospital in Lishui city. Data collection involved the utilization of a general information survey, an implementation leadership scale, the Innovative Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (IS-EQ), and a simplified scale designed to assess evidence-based practice. Results: The mean total scores observed were 37.34±9.77 for nursing supervisor implementation leadership, 29.04±5.39 for nurses' innovation self-efficacy, and 28.80±4.98 for evidence-based practice competency. Through correlation analysis, it was found that in the actual nursing work scenarios, when head nurses effectively exert their leadership and nurses have a relatively high level of innovative self-efficacy, the nurses' evidence-based practice ability will subsequently improve, and the two show a highly significant positive correlation (p < 0.01). The multiple stepwise regression analysis further reveals in depth that the leadership implemented by head nurses, nurses' innovative self-efficacy, as well as nurses' educational level and the degree of participation in academic conferences are all key factors for accurately predicting nurses' evidence-based practice ability. These factors work together and account for 52.8% of the variance in evidence-based practice ability (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Strengthening the leadership training for head nurses, improving nurses' professional quality, and providing more academic exchange opportunities could effectively improve nurses' evidence-based practice ability to practically optimize the quality and professional level of nursing services.
