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
backgroundFrequent public health events, the reporting of chronic diseases, and digital transformation are driving profound changes in nursing models. The role of nurses in resource integration, interdisciplinary collaboration, and process innovation is becoming increasingly prominent. Innovative leadership has become one of the important leadership capabilities to enhance the quality of nursing services. Therefore, this study aims to assess the level of innovative leadership among clinical nurses in China and explore its key influencing factors.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional study of 887 clinical nurses from 10 tertiary hospitals in Henan Province, China, between March and May 2024. The variables included sociodemographic information (sex, age, etc.), the Chinese version of the Organizational Innovation Climate Scale (Cronbach's alpha for reliability is 0.837, validity is 0.962), and the Chinese version of the Innovative Leadership Scale (Cronbach's alpha for reliability is 0.940, validity is 0.938).
resultsA total of 887 valid questionnaires were recovered. The mean total score of nurses' innovative leadership was 158.04 ± 16.96. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that professional title, employment type, personality type, participation in leadership training, and nurses' perception of organizational innovation climate were independent influencing factors of nurses' innovative leadership (P < 0.05). This regression model could explain 33.9% of the total variation in nurses' innovative leadership.
conclusionThe innovative leadership of nurses is at a moderate level. Therefore, nursing managers should actively monitor the innovative ideas and behaviors of nurses, and carry out targeted interventions in a timely manner to improve the innovative leadership of clinical nurses and enhance the quality of service. Due to the cross-sectional study design, we can not directly infer causal relationships between variables. Additionally, the relatively small sample size may affect the reliability and generalizability of the results; therefore, caution is advised when interpreting the study's conclusions.
