Building an Equity-Centered Nursing Leadership Workforce: A Framework for Transformative Change.
Review 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 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
backgroundThe nursing workforce is central to healthcare delivery, yet racial and ethnic disparities persist. Systemic barriers such as implicit bias, institutional racism, and socioeconomic obstacles hinder the career progression of underrepresented nurses. Addressing these disparities is critical to fostering a diverse workforce that can effectively meet the needs of diverse patient populations.
aimThis paper introduces the Equity-Centered Nursing Leadership Framework (ECNLF), a structured approach to advancing diversity in the nursing workforce. The framework provides strategies for dismantling systemic inequities and establishing sustainable leadership pathways.
designConceptual and theoretical analysis of nursing leadership and workforce equity.
methodsA targeted literature synthesis of peer-reviewed research, policy reports, and theoretical frameworks was conducted. The ECNLF was conceptualised using an integrative approach that examines systemic inequities in nursing leadership and workforce diversity. This framework identifies structural barriers, proposes equity-driven interventions, and outlines strategies for mentorship, leadership development, and policy advocacy.
resultsThe ECNLF provides a structured approach for integrating equity-driven leadership development into nursing education and practice. Its implementation is guided by three key pillars: structured mentorship, leadership development, and policy advocacy. The framework supports the establishment of formal mentorship programmes, ensuring that underrepresented nurses have access to career advancement opportunities and leadership training.
conclusionSystemic change requires integrating equity frameworks into nursing curricula, adopting structured DEI initiatives in healthcare institutions, and expanding policy-driven funding for leadership development. The ECNLF provides a scalable model for reducing workforce disparities, improving retention, and fostering inclusive nursing leadership that reflects and serves diverse communities.
