1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesThis study aimed to investigate the current level of clinical leadership among cardiovascular nurses and identify its associated factors.

methodsA multicentre cross-sectional study was conducted among 411 cardiovascular nurses from three tertiary hospitals in China between January and June 2025. Data were collected using the Clinical Leadership Scale, Nursing Work Environment Scale and General Self-Efficacy Scale. Descriptive statistics, univariate analysis, Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression were used for data analysis.

resultsThe mean total score of clinical leadership was 63.53 ± 9.81 (mean item score 4.24 ± 0.82), indicating an above-average level. Higher scores were found in motivating others and role modelling, whereas challenging the status quo was the lowest-performing dimension. Professional title, working department, clinical leadership training, nursing work environment and general self-efficacy were independent positive influencing factors (all

conclusionsClinical leadership among cardiovascular nurses is relatively high and is affected by both organisational and individual psychological factors. Targeted leadership training, improved nursing work environment and enhanced self-efficacy can effectively strengthen clinical leadership in cardiovascular nursing practice.
