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
Objective: Nursing innovation significantly enhances the quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of nursing services, enabling nurses to cultivate a sense of occupational accomplishment and strengthen their professional competence. Previous studies only examined the factors of nurses' innovative behaviors, and these factors were not ranked according to their importance. The purpose of this study is to identify the most important influencing factors that different categories of nurses' innovative behaviors using comprehensive measures based on the conservation of resources theory. Methods: From August to December 2024, the survey was conducted among 832 nurses from 6 public tertiary hospitals in China. The data were analysed using Latent Profile Analysis, Pearson's Results: Overall, this study identified three subgroups of nurses' innovative behavior: Innovation-Conservative, Innovation-Exploratory, and Innovation-Driven. Moreover, adequate creative self-efficacy, work engagement, and paradoxical leadership are the most important factors influencing all subgroups of nurse innovative behavior. However, the importance of secondary factors varied; for example, working years and average monthly income were critical for the Innovation-Conservative, while scheduling satisfaction was a key factor for Innovation-Exploratory. Additionally, innovative experience ranks relatively low. Conclusion: The innovative behaviors of nurses are slightly above the average of previous studies. Nursing managers should first enhance their paradoxical leadership to improve nurses' creative self-efficacy and work engagement. Then, targeted intervention measures are implemented based on the characteristics of each group to enhance the professional quality and economic security of Innovation-Conservative and provide flexible and humanized scheduling for the Innovation-Exploratory, thereby effectively promoting the innovation of the entire nursing team.
