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

Nursing leadership plays a critical role in ensuring healthcare quality and safety while also contributing to improving the population health outcomes in the context of global health. The aim was to map the literature on the role of nursing leadership in global health. A scoping review was constructed using databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, BDEnf, LILACS, and SciELO through September 2024. The review followed the PRISMA-ScR guidelines, the JBI methodology, and the Population, Context and Concept (PCC) framework. The search identified 557 articles. After excluding duplicates and screening titles and abstracts, 41 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility, resulting in a sample of 22 articles, which included nursing leadership in policy (14;63.6%), care (7;31.8%), and education (6;27.3%). The findings underscore the importance of nursing leadership in strengthening global health, but also reveal persistent challenges across care delivery, educational backgrounds, and political engagement. Therefore, nursing leadership in global health is supported by three interconnected pillars: policy, care, and education. The results highlight the need to advance nursing leadership capacity to deal with global health demands.
