Essential elements and outcomes of psychological safety in the healthcare practice setting: A systematic review.
Synthesis in Applied nursing research : ANR, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundPsychological safety is considered an essential component of highly effective teamwork in organizations, including healthcare organizations. This systematic review examines essential elements and outcomes of psychological safety in healthcare practice teams to determine best practices for implementing psychological safety.
methodA systematic literature review of published studies that described psychological safety as a variable in healthcare practice settings was conducted. Articles were included if they were published in English, peer reviewed, included nurses or physicians either individually or as part of a team, incorporated psychological safety, presented workforce or patient outcomes, and published in the past 10 years.
resultsOut of 220 articles, 30 met the inclusion criteria. This review identifies five essential elements and outcomes of psychological safety in healthcare.
conclusionThis systematic review corroborates the importance of psychological safety to healthcare teams. Directing resources toward ensuring the implementation and enhancement of psychological safety in healthcare teams would improve the likelihood of reliable, safe, and high-quality healthcare delivery.
