Consensus-Dominant Futures in Nursing: A Co-Citation and Co-Word Science-Mapping Analysis of Future-Framed Scholarship (1990-2025).
Review in Nursing research and practice, 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
Background: Futures thinking considers multiple possible, preferred, and undesirable futures; strategic foresight applies this orientation to planning. Nursing leaders face workforce instability, digital health adoption, and recurrent disruptions that demand anticipatory action. Purpose: To map how future-framed approaches appear in nursing-indexed journal literature (1990-2025) and identify leadership, education, and policy gaps. Methods: English-language Web of Science Core Collection journal articles and reviews (searched 08 Nov 2025) were screened for a substantive future-framed purpose in nursing. Co-citation analysis mapped frequently co-cited references, and co-word analysis mapped high-frequency author-keyword patterns. Findings: The Web of Science search generated Conclusions: Within the indexed journal record, future-framed nursing scholarship is growing but is most often operationalized through consensus-oriented pathways; explicit foresight tools such as scanning, scenarios, backcasting, and futures literacy remain comparatively sparse in titles, abstracts, and keywords.
