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

backgroundIn today's rapidly evolving healthcare environment, nurses' innovative behaviors are crucial for improving patient care quality and organizational effectiveness. While supervisor knowledge-sharing behavior has been identified as a potential innovation driver, the mechanisms influencing nurses' innovative behaviors remain unclear.

objectiveTo investigate the mediating role of organizational learning in the relationship between supervisors' knowledge sharing behavior and nurses' innovative behaviors in clinical settings.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 450 nurses from university hospitals of Ardabil University of Medical Sciences, Iran, between September and November 2024. Data were collected using the Supervisor Knowledge Sharing Behavior Questionnaire (SKSBQ), Innovative Behavior Inventory (IBI), and Organizational Learning Instrument-Development Stages (OLI-DS). Structural equation modeling (SEM) analyses were performed to test the hypothesized relationships.

resultsFindings revealed significant positive correlations between supervisor knowledge sharing behavior, organizational learning, and innovative behaviors. SEM results confirmed that organizational learning partially mediated the relationship between supervisor knowledge sharing behavior and nurses' innovative behaviors.

conclusionThe findings highlight the crucial role of supervisor knowledge sharing behavior in fostering nurses' innovative behaviors directly and through the mediating effect of organizational learning. Healthcare organizations should prioritize developing supervisors' knowledge sharing capabilities and establishing robust organizational learning cultures to enhance innovation among nursing staff. RCT CODE: Not applicable.
