Registered nurses and what may constitute their leadership in the home healthcare context.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundRegistered nurses who are not employed in formal leadership positions are assumed to practice leadership, yet there is limited knowledge of what this entails. This study aimed to identify what may be recognised as critical aspects constituting leadership in registered nurses' daily interactions in the home healthcare context.
methodsA qualitative study design with a hermeneutical approach was employed. Data were collected through individual interviews with registered nurses working in three home healthcare contexts in three Norwegian municipalities. Data were analysed using thematic analysis.
resultsThe results are presented as three critical aspects that seem to be recognised as constituting leadership in the home healthcare context: (1) Negotiating accountability for nursing activities, (2) Gaining an overview of nursing activities, and (3) Managing nursing activities within a limited time.
conclusionsIn this study, leadership appears to emerge when the registered nurses act as meaning-makers in daily interactions with their colleagues. The nurses act as meaning-makers to achieve a specific goal: to accomplish nursing activities to care for patients needing help. Acting as meaning-makers involves the nurses being aware of and actively recognising negotiating accountability for nursing activities, gaining an overview of nursing activities, and managing nursing activities within a limited time. These are critical aspects that may constitute leadership in their daily interactions.
