Contagious Effect of Nurses' Perception of Leaders' Antisocial Behaviour.
Article in Journal of advanced nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimTo examine the underlying mechanism that strengthens or attenuates the social contagion effect among nursing professionals.
designThe study uses a cross-sectional design. The study's results followed the Strengthening Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE).
methodsA Questionnaire was used as the main source of data collection. The data collection occurred between March 11 and May 12, 2024. The study used purposive sampling to select 25 health facilities. A total of 530 questionnaires were sent out, of which 323 responses were received, and 27 were excluded due to missing data and logical inconsistency. In all, 296 responses were used for the analysis, giving a valid response rate of 58.8%. The smart partial least squares partial equation modelling (Smart-PLS 4.0) was used for the study's data analysis.
resultsThe results reveal that the need for recognition mediates the relationship between nursing managers' and subordinates' antisocial behaviour. Also, results from the study indicate that personal norm inversely moderated the relationship between superior antisocial behaviour and subordinate behaviour.
conclusionThe impact of superior antisocial behaviour on junior nurses may not translate into the same level of effect, especially when the nurse perceives her role as a call to duty (i.e., has high personal norms). IMPACT: The study findings confirm the crucial role personal norms and the need for recognition play in strengthening or weakening the social contagion effect of senior nurses' antisocial behaviour on junior nurses' behaviour. REPORTING
methodThe study followed the Strengthening Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
