Nursing research landscape in Malaysia: a systematic scoping review protocol on journal publications from 2015 to 2024.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionThe nursing profession has undergone significant evolution over the past century, shifting from a role traditionally viewed as an auxiliary to physicians to one of autonomous healthcare professionals equipped with specialised skills and expertise. This shift is driven by the increasing recognition of the importance of evidence-based practice in enhancing patient outcomes and advancing the field of nursing. Consequently, nursing research has emerged as a critical priority in the profession. This study seeks to explore the nursing research landscape in Malaysia, where data remain limited, by examining trends before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This scoping review will be conducted following the Arksey and O'Malley framework, using four electronic databases: PubMed, Scopus and CINAHL for journal articles published between 2015 and 2024, and Web of Science for conference proceedings from the same period. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The findings from this scoping review will provide an overview of the nursing research landscape in the Malaysian context, offering insights that could guide the future advancement of nursing research in the country. The results will be disseminated through submission to a peer-reviewed scientific journal for publication. Ethical approval is not required for this scoping review, as it involves the synthesis of data from available published literature.
