Healthcare Professionals' Perceptions of Future Leadership in Digital Healthcare: A Qualitative Study.
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 1 paper.
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.

conclusionFuture leadership in digital healthcare will be about leading people in a humane way. Leaders will be at the forefront of digital solutions, sharing their expertise and enabling stakeholders' engagement. Through collaboration, future leaders will be building a future-led digital health system. IMPACT: Digital healthcare is improving due to the implementation of new digital solutions and the possibility of artificial intelligence. Thus, leaders' competencies in digital healthcare need to be further developed through education and guided by policy to meet the expectations of future professionals, nurses and customers.
