Current State of PhD Nursing Education in Four Countries: A Comparative Analysis.
Article in SAGE open nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Objective: To describe the state of PhD nursing education in three West-European countries, including Finland, Lithuania, and the Netherlands, as compared to the Central-Asian Republic of Kazakhstan in terms of organizational structure, entry requirements, supervision, and the required competencies. Methods: A descriptive survey design was used, including a comparative analysis of data extracted from PhD nursing programs of universities in Finland, Lithuania, the Netherlands, and Kazakhstan. Results: Although the study showed similarities between the countries, like all countries offer research-oriented PhD programs for nurses, the following differences were identified: The organizational structure is different, as PhD nursing education in European countries is provided by independent nursing science departments chaired by a professor in nursing, while nurses in Kazakhstan can follow PhD education from other disciplines. PhD students in European countries have supervisors with strong expertise in nursing science and research, while supervisors in Kazakhstan are from other disciplines, lacking nursing science expertise. Conclusion: PhD supervisors' lack of expertise in nursing science threatens the development of PhD education in nursing in Kazakhstan. Universities in Kazakhstan should develop independent PhD education for nurses with a focus on nursing and to strengthen the supervision of PhD students with well-qualified supervisors having expertise in nursing science. For Kazakhstan to meet the demands of tomorrow's health care, it is critical to develop a greater pool of PhD-prepared nurses with strong competencies in nursing, health care, research, and supervision, to educate a sustainable nursing workforce that contributes to the health and well-being of the Kazakhstani population.
