Sustainability and nursing: an integrative literature review.
Article in Journal of research in nursing : JRN, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Environmental changes are drastically influencing way of life and healthcare, and are considered a global health emergency. Nursing professionals stand as a great opportunity to positively influence this situation. Aims: To understand the role of nursing and its importance within the health field for sustainability in global healthcare. Methods: An integrative review was carried out searching for the PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL and SCOPUS databases in the last 5 years of research. Keywords and synonyms relating to sustainable development and nursing were used. Papers published in the last 5 years in English and Spanish were included. Exclusion criteria were studies showing data before 2019 and, studies on non-health-related sustainability. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) was followed. Results: From a total of 2909 references, 17 were included. Our findings revealed that nursing can be considered a key agent for the incorporation of sustainability into the health system. The role of nurses is highly influenced by the context, political decisions and research. The current nursing education system was analysed together with the new visions that are emerging and provide a conception of nursing that is more resilient with the world. Conclusions: The incorporation of sustainability into the health system is taking time, despite nurses being positioned as a key factor in this change. There is need for changes in politics, education and research to facilitates nurses' agency in this domain.
