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

backgroundLeadership is essential for nursing to provide high-quality treatment, productive cooperation, and flexible responses to the always-developing healthcare environment. In nursing educational programs, entrepreneurial leadership places a strong emphasis on cultivating qualities that promote creative problem-solving and inventive thinking. These abilities can be employed in clinical settings to enhance patient care, leadership, innovation, and healthcare delivery. Social learning theory describes how these skills are acquired through learning, imitation, observation, and reinforcement.

aimto investigate the effect of the entrepreneurial leadership intervention program on nurse interns' work innovation and overall performance in the clinical setting.

methodsA two-arm, parallel, open-label randomized controlled trial was conducted at Mansoura University Hospital, Governorate, Egypt. 1026 nurse interns were included in the study. Random assignment was used to place nurse interns in either the study group (n = 513) or the control group (n = 513) by using the Entrepreneurship Knowledge Questionnaire, Entrepreneurial Leadership Behavior Questionnaire, the Work Innovation Questionnaire, Observation Checklist of Nurses Performance, and Demographic Information Form.

resultThere were statistically significant differences between the study and control groups in total entrepreneurial knowledge, total entrepreneurial behavior, total work innovation, total performance, and all their dimensions, particularly at the immediate post-intervention and follow-up stages, with p-values of 0.000. The study group demonstrated highly significant improvements in entrepreneurial knowledge, total entrepreneurial behavior, total work innovation, total performance, and all their dimensions, particularly at the immediate post-intervention and follow-up stages, with p-values of 0.000.

conclusionThis study demonstrates the significant impact of a structured entrepreneurial educational program on enhancing entrepreneurial behavior, work innovation, and performance among nurse interns. The intervention led to substantial and sustained improvements in various professional competencies, with the study group consistently outperforming the control group. These results emphasize the importance of targeted leadership development programs in fostering critical skills and promoting long-term knowledge retention and practical application.
