1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This article explores the concept of systems thinking as a crucial skill for leadership students navigating a complex, interconnected world. We assert that incorporating systems thinking into leadership education can help individuals better understand the structure, interrelationships, and dynamics of various systems. The article outlines key systems thinking language, principles, and skills that support systems literacy, then illustrates their application through the presentation of three case studies: Jacinda Ardern's leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Darryll Pines's approach to engineering education, and Patagonia's sustainable business model. The article concludes by discussing how systems language and tools can be integrated into diverse learning environments and noting considerations for educators as they introduce systems thinking into their work.
