Clinical Supervision Practices With Australian Child and Family Health Nurses: Exploring Facilitators and Barriers.
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. 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
aimTo explore Australian Maternal and Child Health nurses' clinical supervision practice and barriers and facilitators to effective supervision.
methodsAn online survey was distributed to all nurses and managers in Victoria, Australia.
resultsA total of 188 MCH nurses responded to the survey, and of these, 147 completed the 26-item version of the validated Manchester Clinical Supervision Scale. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics. The majority of nurses (91%) received facilitated group supervision, and most nurses (86%) were moderately or very satisfied with their clinical supervision. In total, 81% of nurses perceived clinical supervision to be of benefit according to the Manchester Clinical Supervision Scale-26 results. Open text responses were analysed according to barriers, facilitators and general comments. Key facilitators included supervisors with group facilitation skills and support for reflection. Barriers to effective supervision related to group dynamics, insufficient time and varied understanding of the purpose of sessions among participants.
conclusionEffective clinical supervision relies on the establishment of clear aims and shared understandings among participants, skilled facilitation and managerial support. IMPACT: Clinical supervision can facilitate reflective practice and learning when implemented as intended. This study highlights the role of professional nursing bodies, service providers and educational institutes to raise awareness of the conditions needed to achieve this. REPORTING
methodComplies with Equator Guideline (STROBE). PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
