Scope of Nursing Work and Models of Service Delivery in Australian Primary and Secondary Schools: A Scoping Review.
Article in Journal of advanced nursing, 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
aimTo map the scope of nursing work and models of service delivery in Australian primary and secondary schools for children aged 3-18 years.
designScoping Review. DATA SOURCES: A search of CINAHL, Medline, PsycINFO, ERIC, Informit and Google was conducted in August 2024 for peer reviewed, non-peer reviewed and grey literature giving insight into nursing work in primary and secondary Australian schools in urban, regional and remote areas of all Australian states and territories.
methodsThe review employed Johanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews and reported the findings in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) Checklist.
resultsOne hundred and forty-two sources were included. Findings indicate that nurses working in Australian schools conduct a wide range of activities which vary by jurisdiction, education sector, employer and school type. Models of nursing service delivery are similarly varied and range from full-time school-based nurses to nurses who visit schools on an occasional basis.
conclusionThe varied scope of nursing work and models of service delivery provide evidence that the nursing workforce in schools is adaptable and flexible, but unequal access to nursing services raises important questions about equity. There is an urgent need for a national approach to nursing work in Australian schools. IMPACT: This is the first review to map the scope of nursing work and models of service delivery in Australian primary and secondary schools.
