A Cross-Sectional Study of Clinical Leadership Needs and Safety Climate: Differences Between Nurses and Nurse Managers.

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: Research shows steady growth in clinical leadership (CL); however, CL is still misunderstood in all clinical environments. Few studies have been conducted on the CL needs of nursing staff. No studies have linked CL needs (CLeeNs) in nursing to safety climate (SC) in clinical settings. Therefore, this study analyzed the differences in the perceived nurses' CL needs and SC between nurses and nurse managers. Methods: A cross-sectional research design was implemented employing an online survey. A convenience sample of 252 registered nurses (RNs) and 139 nurse managers was employed using the Clinical Leadership Needs Analysis (CLeeNA) instrument and the Safety Climate Survey (SCS). Results: The chi-square test showed that nurse managers differed from nurses in most of the sample demographics, except in their time commitment, area of work, and the reported decision-making style in their area of work. The mean score of the overall scale of CLeeNs was "very important" ( Conclusions: CL and CLeeNs are essential for a safe climate; however, little is known about how nurses and nurse managers differ in their perceived CL and SC in practice. CL should be sustained in all hospital settings. The low perceived SC is worrying and mandates immediate intervention at all organizational levels. Notably, a negative correlation was observed between CLeeNs and SC, suggesting that stronger perceptions of CL do not necessarily translate into more favorable SC perceptions.
