Factors Affecting the Mental Health and Wellbeing of Men in Nursing: A Systematic Review and Narrative Synthesis.
Synthesis in International journal of nursing practice, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe number of men entering nursing has steadily increased over recent decades. Male nurses contribute unique perspectives and skills; however, men working in female-dominated occupations face distinct impacts on mental health and wellbeing. RESEARCH
aimTo identify factors that negatively impact the mental health and wellbeing of male nurses and students.
methodsThis systematic literature review followed the five steps as outlined by Gregory and Denniss for conducting a systematic literature review and narrative synthesis.
resultsSeventy research papers were included. Findings identified three major categories and eight factors describing the mental health and wellbeing of male nurses and students. Themes identified were 'Social and Cultural Stigma', 'Institutional and Workplace Exclusion' and 'Hostility and Vulnerability in Practice'.
conclusionsFindings highlight systemic and interpersonal challenges to the mental health of male nurses and students, offering a foundation for future research, hypothesis generation and the development of targeted, evidence-based strategies to address these issues.
