Respiratory Nurse Leadership Requires Increased Profile, Role Clarity and Stronger Career Pathways: Binational Delphi Consensus Process and TSANZ Position Statement.

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
INTRODUCTION/
aimThe World Health Organisation recognises the integral role of respiratory nurses in the management and promotion of lung health to minimise substantial international health burden and health system costs. This Position Statement presents the Priorities for the Recognition of Respiratory Nursing as a Specific Field of Expertise, as validated through a binational Delphi consensus process, and endorsed by the Thoracic Society Australia and New Zealand Board on 25th October 2024.
methodsA cross-sectional online Delphi consensus survey delivered over two rounds using purposive sampling of leading respiratory nurse clinicians, managers, educators and/or researchers. In Round 1, participants rated generated priority statements on a 7-point Likert scale. In Round 2, mean item scores were provided and statements ranked to establish those of highest priority. Consensus cut-off was set at ≥ 75%.
resultsOne hundred and four Round 1 and sixty-four Round 2 participants from all Australian states and NZ regions confirmed 14 items, under three overarching priorities: the need to (1) raise the profile and influence of nurses within national and international respiratory organisations and policy; (2) define respiratory nursing as a field of specific expertise; and (3) articulate career progression and education frameworks as a roadmap to specialisation.
conclusionConsensus on joint priorities supports respiratory nurses as integral to health strategy and articulates pathways for future workforce. Optimising the scope of nurses, including addressing barriers to contribution, and prioritisation and retention of specialist respiratory workforce, are necessary to meet population and health service demands and adequately support those living with lung conditions.
