Translational bioethics in nursing: a conceptual review of definitions, applications and ethical implications.
Review in BMC medical ethics, 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
backgroundBioethics is fundamental in healthcare, guiding ethical decision-making and patient care. Translational bioethics (TB) aims to bridge the gap between ethical theories and real-world practice, including nursing. However, the concept of TB has not been clearly examined yet. Therefore, this concept analysis was done to provide clarity and practical meaning to the concept of translational bioethics within the context of nursing.
methodsWalker and Avant's concept analysis framework was employed to examine TB and apply it to nursing practice. A systematic search of electronic databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, and PubMed Central, was conducted. Papers were screened and twenty-five eligible full-text records included in analysis.
resultsThe analysis identified four key defining attributes of TB, including bridging the theory-practice gap, ethical evaluation and decision making, interdisciplinary collaboration, social responsibility and societal impact. Antecedents included ethical dilemmas, identifying theory-practice gaps, and commitment to real-world impact. The consequences of TB encompassed improved patient care, reduction of ethical conflicts, positive social impact, and informed policy and decision making.
conclusionsThis study provided a clear conceptual model of TB, offering insights into its antecedents, attributes, and consequences. Translational bioethics can be defined as an approach that bridges ethical theory and practice through research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and a focus on contextual ethical evaluation and decision making, aiming for socially responsible and impactful outcomes.
