Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: Leadership competency is vital in nursing education to advance Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 healthcare reforms. Emotional intelligence (EI) and self-esteem (SE) are known predictors of leadership, yet their gender-specific influence among Saudi nursing students remains unclear. Purpose: This study examined how EI and SE predict leadership competency among male and female Saudi nursing students, guided by Gender Role Theory, Trait Leadership Theory, Granular Interaction Thinking Theory, and the Bayesian Mindsponge Framework. Methods: A comparative cross-sectional design included 260 nursing students from Northern Border University. Participants completed the Leadership Competency Scale (40 items; Results: Males reported higher leadership competency ( Conclusion: Leadership competency among Saudi nursing students follows gender-specific pathways. For males, EI enhances leadership, while for females, SE is the key predictor. Educational strategies should prioritize EI development for males and SE for females to achieve equitable leadership outcomes aligned with Vision 2030.
