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

Objective: To explore the mediating role of nurses' organizational innovation climate in the relationship between head nurses' research-innovation leadership and nurses' innovation behavior. Methods: Using a convenience sampling method, 236 clinical nurses were selected from four tertiary grade-A hospitals in Hebei Province, China. Data were collected through four instruments: a general information questionnaire, the head nurses' research-innovation leadership scale, the nurses' innovation behavior scale, and the organizational innovation climate scale. An online data analysis tool SPSS was adopted to conduct descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, and structural equation model construction. Results: The total score for head nurses' research-innovation leadership was 55.32 ± 12.18, which was at the upper middle level. The total score for organizational innovation climate among nurses was 84.35 ± 11.35, which was at the medium level. The total score for nurses' innovation behavior was 34.65 ± 6.21, which was at the medium level. Nurses' innovation behavior was positively correlated with head nurses' research-innovation leadership (r = 0.380, Conclusion: Head nurses' research-innovation leadership has a direct effect on nurses' innovation behavior and can also exert an indirect influence through the organizational innovation climate, but this indirect influence is not absolutely dominant. Nursing managers should enhance their leadership in research and innovation and actively foster a supportive organizational climate to promote innovation behavior among nurses.
