Enhancing Nurse Leaders Evidence-Based Practice Implementation Leadership Competence. A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Educational Interventions.
Synthesis in Worldviews on evidence-based nursing, 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
backgroundNurse leaders play a pivotal role in facilitating evidence-based practice (EBP). Gaps persist in their competence and engagement in EBP implementation leadership. Educational interventions targeted at nurse leaders can improve their EBP competencies.
aimTo evaluate the effectiveness of educational interventions on nurse leaders' competence in EBP implementation leadership and organizational, staff, and patient-related outcomes.
methodsA comprehensive search was conducted across major databases and trial registries in September 2024. Six intervention studies met the inclusion criteria, encompassing various healthcare settings and leadership roles. Data were synthesized narratively and analyzed statistically using meta-analysis.
resultsEducational interventions significantly improved nurse leaders' implementation leadership (SMD = 0.74), EBP competence (SMD = 1.76), and knowledge (SMD = 1.05). Organizational readiness (SMD = 0.65) and implementation climate (SMD = 1.60) also showed positive effects. The overall certainty of evidence was rated low due to methodological limitations. LINKING EVIDENCE TO ACTION: Educational interventions targeting nurse leaders are effective in enhancing EBP implementation leadership competencies and fostering supportive organizational environments. Investing in educational programs for nurse leaders may strengthen EBP implementation leadership, implementation climate, and organizational readiness.
