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

Objective: Leadership plays a critical role in shaping an organisation's digitisation journey and driving complex change processes. As the necessity to involve stakeholders in achieving digitalisation objectives across sectors is becoming increasingly evident, this study used Activity Theory as theoretical lens to explore leadership influence on stakeholder involvement in the digitalisation of the UK healthcare sector. Methods: This study followed an interpretive qualitative approach using the UK healthcare sector as a case study. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and survey responses complementarily. Results: A thematic analysis of 14 interview transcripts and 121 survey responses revealed that leadership's influence on stakeholder involvement transcends leadership styles and traditional attributes. It is multi-dimensional and encompasses the ability to navigate multiple systemic elements to shape stakeholders' commitment to the common digitalisation goal. Conclusions: This study provides insights into the moderating and mediating role of leadership in stakeholder involvement, by dissecting its influence across five major dimensions: involvement integrability, commitment to stakeholder involvement, stakeholder inclusivity and engagement, leadership-digitalisation-stakeholder trust triality, and leadership obstructiveness.
