Dignity of the nurse: A hermeneutic literature review.
Review in Nursing ethics, 2026. 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
The dignity of the nurse is a value that remains to be fully embedded in the nursing profession. It is a hidden concept that nurses tend to overlook. Regard for the dignity of the nurse is crucial because it enables nurses to fulfil their duties to the best of their potential. This literature review aimed to explore and better understand the meaning of the dignity of the nurse as it appears in education and nursing practice. A hermeneutic approach underpinned the methodology in the search, acquisition, and analysis of 16 studies. Dignity of the nurse as conceptualised in this review resulted in answering the following questions: in what ways is it defined; in what context does it appear; how is it sensed, and why does it matter? The review results confirmed the impact of dignity and indignity encounters on nurses. It is crucial to prioritise the dignity of the nurse as a value of equal importance in nursing.
