Nursing Workforce Sustainability: An Evolutionary Concept Analysis.
Article in The Journal of nursing administration, 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
objectiveTo clarify the concept of sustainability in the nursing workforce and identify its attributes, antecedents, and potential consequences.
backgroundWhile the term "nursing workforce sustainability" has been used to emphasize the critical implications of ensuring the efficiency of healthcare systems worldwide, a delineated understanding of the concept remains ambiguous in extant literature, causing uncertainty about its conceptual underpinnings.
methodsRodger's evolutionary approach was applied.
resultsThe authors identified "nursing workforce sustainability" as an evolving concept with four interrelated attributes: recruitment, retention, regulation, and recognition. The antecedents included demographic, occupational, and structural issues. Consequences include policy and systemic advancements, a diverse and inclusive workforce, enhanced workforce well-being, and improved patient safety and organizational effectiveness.
conclusionsA conceptual definition and framework of nursing workforce sustainability have been developed, offering groundwork for future research and policy development in workforce planning and management.
