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
backgroundTo increase the value of the nursing profession on a global scale, creating environments that support innovative behaviors and determining the factors that encourage innovative behaviors are of critical importance. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between transformational leadership and innovative behavior of nurses and the mediating role of psychological empowerment in this relationship.
methodsThis study was conducted using a descriptive and cross-sectional design within the framework of quantitative research methods. The study was conducted in four private hospitals affiliated with a health institution in Türkiye. The study group consisted of a sample group of 317 nurses in total. The collected data were analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using Jamovi 2.4.11 statistical software.
resultsThe results showed that transformational leadership was positively and significantly related to psychological empowerment and innovative behavior (p < 0.001). There was a positive relationship between psychological empowerment and innovative behavior (β = 0.406, p < 0.001). Psychological empowerment had a positive mediating effect on the relationship between transformational leadership and innovative behavior (β = 0.291, p < 0.001).
conclusionsThis study examined the effect of transformational leadership on innovative work behaviors and the role of psychological empowerment in mediating this relationship. The findings show that transformational leadership positively affects nurses' innovative work behaviors, and this effect is strengthened through psychological empowerment.
