Italian oncology nurses' perceptions of empowering leadership styles: a descriptive cross-sectional exploratory study.
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
objectiveThe study aims to assess the associated influencing oncology nurses' perceptions of managers' empowering leadership style and to examine the influence of sex, work experience, shift work, membership of an oncology nursing association or a scientific society, nursing educational level and specialised nursing training in oncology on oncology nurses' perceptions of managers' empowering leadership style and its subdimensions.
designDescriptive cross-sectional study.
settingIn March 2024, oncology nurses employed in oncology settings were invited to participate.
participantsAll Italian oncology nurses who were currently employed were eligible to participate.
main outcome measuresThe Italian version of the Empowering Leadership Questionnaire was used to assess nurses' perceptions of managers' performance in leading by example, participative decision-making, coaching, informing and demonstrating concern/interacting with the team.
resultsA total of 298 nurses agreed to participate. The associated factors for an empowered leadership style across all subdimensions were sex (p=0.006) and the educational level in nursing (p=0.004). Participative decision-making, coaching, informing and demonstrating concern/interacting with the team subdimensions were associated with shift work. Participation in scientific associations (p=0.005) was also influential.
conclusionsExploring the data according to the nursing specialisation appeared intriguing, since it could be a more indicative suggestion for future interventions to implement an empowering leadership style in clinical nursing practice and better inform health policymakers to achieve the right solution in their health organisations.
