Mentoring in Hospital Settings: A Systematic Review of Guidance, Care, and Professional Development.
Review in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesMentoring is defined as a supportive relationship between an experienced professional (mentor) and a less experienced individual (mentee), influencing skill development, professional confidence, and psychological well-being. This systematic review addresses the question: "Can support from a senior colleague positively impact junior healthcare workers?"
methodsFollowing PRISMA 2020 guidelines, a systematic literature search was performed (January 2004-December 2024) in Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus databases, yielding 399 studies.
resultsAfter rigorous screening and quality assessment using the QuADS checklist, 74 studies were included in the final analysis. The reviewed articles span various healthcare fields, including nursing, medicine, and midwifery, utilizing qualitative, quantitative, observational, and mixed-methods approaches. Key findings highlight the mentor's role in academic and emotional support; fostering clinical and transversal skills such as communication, collaboration, and problem-solving; and enhancing self-efficacy, resilience, and autonomy, particularly during transitional or emotionally demanding periods. Challenges identified include the need for inclusive environments and standardized mentoring models.
conclusionsOverall, mentoring supports the professional and personal growth of junior healthcare professionals and contributes positively to training quality and clinical work. However, issues regarding equitable access, program standardization, and the need for further research to establish consolidated guidelines remain.
