Towards a National Nursing and Midwifery Research Agenda: Validating Priorities Through Expert Consensus in Qatar.
Article in SAGE open nursing. 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
Introduction: Qatar's ongoing healthcare transformation, aligned with the Qatar National Vision 2030, underscores the need for a robust nursing and midwifery research agenda to drive systemic improvements. While an earlier Delphi study identified initial research priorities, its stakeholder representation was limited in scope and diversity. Objective: To validate and refine Qatar's national nursing and midwifery research priorities through an expanded expert consensus. Methods: This study represents Phase Four of a previously conducted Delphi project. A new panel of 20 experts from public, private, academic, and primary healthcare institutions re-evaluated 30 research priorities using a 5-point Likert scale. The consensus was defined as ≥70% agreement. Quantitative analysis assessed consensus strength, while changes in item rankings were evaluated using inferential statistics. Results: High consensus was achieved across most items, with median ratings ranging from 4.0 to 5.0. Key validated priorities included transforming nursing education to integrate evidence-based practices (median = 5.0, interquartile range (IQR) = 4.0-5.0, 100% agreement), aligning nursing education with advances in healthcare technology (median = 5.0, IQR = 4.0-5.0, 100% agreement), and enhancing workforce development and retention (median = 5.0, IQR = 4.0-5.0, 100% agreement). Significant changes were observed in areas such as the influence of policy and legislation on nursing roles ( Conclusions: The findings reinforce and refine Qatar's national nursing and midwifery research priorities, emphasizing education reform, workforce resilience, and integrating innovation and leadership into nursing practice. The expanded consensus approach enhances the legitimacy and applicability of the research agenda, offering a foundational tool for guiding future research, policy, and academic development in Qatar's nursing and midwifery sector.
