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

aimTo assess levels of quantum leadership, organizational transparency, and organizational readiness for change among staff nurses and to examine whether organizational transparency statistically mediates the association between quantum leadership and organizational readiness for change.

designA cross-sectional descriptive study was reported in accordance with STROBE guidelines.

methodsA census sampling approach was used to recruit 350 staff nurses from Shoubrakhit General Hospital. Data were collected using the Quantum Leadership Survey, the Organizational Transparency Instrument, and the Organizational Readiness for Implementing Change Scale.

resultsMost nurses reported high levels of quantum leadership (77.1%), organizational transparency (66.3%), and readiness for change (85.4%). Correlation analysis showed positive associations among the three main variables. The statistical mediation model indicated that quantum leadership was directly associated with organizational readiness for change and showed a small positive indirect association through organizational transparency. The model demonstrated acceptable overall fit.

conclusionQuantum leadership was positively associated with organizational readiness for change, with organizational transparency showing a small statistical mediating role. Given the cross-sectional, self-report, single-hospital design, the findings should be interpreted cautiously as associations rather than evidence of causal processes. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nurse managers and nursing leaders should strengthen transparent communication channels, involve nurses meaningfully in committees and change-related discussions, support accountable decision-making, and assess staff readiness before major organizational initiatives.
