Article in Nursing open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimTo provide a comprehensive understanding of how nurse managers' leadership styles affect staff engagement and to identify key themes that influence engagement from both statistical and experiential perspectives within a multicultural healthcare context.
designExplanatory sequential mixed-methods design, with integration occurring across the design, methods and reporting stages using the Pillar Integration Process.
methodsThe study was conducted in four public hospitals in western Saudi Arabia. Quantitative data were collected from 278 registered nurses using the validated Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ-5X) and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9). Thirteen nurses participated in follow-up semi-structured interviews. The study adhered to the Good Reporting of a Mixed Methods Study (GRAMMS) guidelines.
resultsFour integrated themes emerged: relational leadership, recognition and reward, impact of neglectful leadership and cultural competence in leadership. Saudi and non-Saudi nurses perceived leadership differently, influenced by cultural norms. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
