Navigating veterinary error disclosure: An examination of humble leadership and safety attitudes in veterinary practices in Australia.
Article in The Veterinary record, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThe veterinary environment faces distinct challenges in leadership and safety climates, with humble leadership linked to improved outcomes in other fields.
methodsA cross-sectional survey assessed perceptions of humble leadership, psychological safety, safety climate and error disclosure attitudes in veterinary professionals in Australia. Demographic and professional-group differences, as well as associations and predictors of attitudes towards error disclosure were examined using non-parametric tests, correlation and logistic regression analyses.
resultsHumble leadership perceptions differed by role (p < 0.001), with hospital directors reporting higher scores. Psychological safety scores were higher among men (p = 0.02). Among the professional roles, hospital directors reported the highest psychological safety (p < 0.001). Safety climate perceptions were more positive among full-time employees (p < 0.008) and those in teaching hospitals (p = 0.004). Psychological safety strongly correlated with humble leadership (ρ = 0.62; p < 0.001). Psychological safety (odds ratio [OR] = 1.11; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.08-1.15; p < 0.001) and leadership perceptions (OR = 1.05; 95% CI: 1.02-1.08; p < 0.001) significantly predicted positive attitudes towards error disclosure. LIMITATIONS: Selection bias may have overestimated perceptions of humble leadership and error disclosure among veterinary leaders.
conclusionsHumble leadership and psychological safety are important in promoting positive attitudes towards error disclosure.
