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

Contemporary nursing education must cultivate leadership competencies alongside clinical skills to meet evolving healthcare demands. A cross-sectional methodological study of 469 nursing students was conducted. Data were collected via Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision, and Nurse Teacher (CLES +T) Evaluation Scale and the Educational Leadership Scale. More than 92% of participants reported positive perceptions of their clinical learning environment, with the highest satisfaction related to supervision and ward leadership. Factor analysis validated the three-factor structure of leadership development: visionary, instructional, and scientific leadership, explaining 64% of the total variance. The overall CLES +T score was strongly and positively correlated with overall leadership development (r = 0.718, p < 0.001). Supervisor relationship (r = 0.777), pedagogical atmosphere (r = 0.764), and the role of the nurse teacher (r = 0.770) demonstrated strong positive correlations. Additionally, significant positive correlations were observed among all leadership dimensions, with the strongest association between visionary and instructional leadership (r = 0.694, p < 0.01). Supportive clinical learning environments are strongly associated with leadership development in nursing students, emphasizing the need for curriculum designs that integrate mentorship and structured leadership training.
