Global Nursing Offices in Academia as a Strategy to Advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: A Historical Case Study.

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
aimWe present a historical case study of the Global Nursing Office (GNO) at the University of Alberta, Faculty of Nursing in Canada, documenting over five decades of global health leadership in nursing education, policy, and research.
backgroundAcademic institutions have a responsibility to contribute to achieving the United Nations (UN) sustainable development goals with the aim of achieving health for all. While there are examples of GNOs in universities worldwide, there remains limited documentation and analysis of how these academic structures operationalize internationalization mandates and influence advances in the nursing profession and global health. SOURCES OF EVIDENCE: We completed a historical case study, using document analysis of archival records, institutional reports, and internal communications from 1970 to date, supplemented by oral history interviews with key stakeholders. DISCUSSION: The GNO's development reflects a transformative shift from individual-led initiatives in the 1970s to an academic structure with widespread faculty engagement and strategic global partnerships. Grounded in a philosophy of health equity, cultural humility, and mutual capacity-building, key milestones included the creation of the International Nursing Centre (1998), the Ghana Partnership (1999), and the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization Collaborating Centre (2002). IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING AND GLOBAL HEALTH POLICY: Academic nursing leadership can look to existing GNO models for achieving sustainable and impactful outcomes that advance the profession and, most importantly, progress the UN sustainable development goals. We encourage nongovernmental and governmental bodies leading global health efforts to partner with GNOs who can tap into the expertise and services of faculty and students committed to global health advancement.
