Clinical Research Nurses, an Untapped Resource of Nurse Researchers?
Article in Nursing open, 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
The clinical research nurse (CRN) workforce in the United Kingdom (UK) is considerable and has a level of expertise when it comes to delivering research in a healthcare setting. Yet these same individuals are often overlooked when it comes to developing future academic nursing research leaders within the UK. A group of current or former clinical research nurses (the authors), held a reflective discussion and asked themselves: "Are CRN's a potential untapped resource who could plug the gap in the academic researcher workforce?" This brief report presents our reflections from personal experiences, augmented by published evidence, to open a dialogue on the potential role of CRNs as academic nurse researchers. We concluded that while CRNs have the necessary aspirations, skills and attributes, there remain key barriers which require this group of nurses to rely on personal determination and persistence to become academic nurse researchers.
