1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Leadership is a core expectation of nursing practice, yet leadership development curricula in academia and healthcare organizations fall short of equipping nurses to lead in today's complex healthcare environment. This article outlines a framework-driven approach to leadership education through two courses designed for undergraduate and graduate nursing students, developed and iteratively refined using the Knowledge-to-Action framework and annual Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles. Grounded in relational leadership theories, the RNAO model for developing and sustaining leadership, and the LEADS in a Caring Environment framework, courses integrate participatory learning strategies to bridge theory and practice. Students engage in team-based projects, reflective exercises, and experiential activities to build self-awareness and confidence. By aligning curricula with professional standards and practice-relevant frameworks, these courses cultivate leadership, positioning nurses to influence the quality of care and contribute to health system transformation. Organizations can build on this foundation to provide leadership development and support professional growth.
