Article in Journal of nursing management, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimThe study examined the relationship between leadership styles and work engagement among nurses from their perspectives.
backgroundNurses frequently face substantial stress, burnout, and emotional weariness as a result of high patient care demands and staffing shortages. Keeping nurses engaged is crucial for healthcare firms looking to retain employees while offering high-quality care.
methodsA cross-sectional design was adopted, using a convenience sampling technique, and descriptive and correlational analyses were carried out. A total of 337 registered nurses were recruited. Data were collected from participants using self-administered questionnaires, including the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES), which was used to assess nurses' work engagement.
resultsDirective leadership is perceived as the dominant leadership style by registered nurses in Jordanian hospitals. When examining the dominant leadership style as perceived by registered nurses, the directive leadership style achieved the highest mean score (M = 23.55, SD = 5.67), followed by the achievement-oriented style (M = 22.09, SD = 4.93). In third place, the participative leadership style was accounted for (M = 21.85, SD = 6.45). The supportive leadership style ranked last with a mean score of 21.55 (SD = 5.81).
conclusionEffective leadership styles are associated with higher levels of work engagement among nurses. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: These findings could guide policymakers in establishing organizational policies to train nurse managers in effective leadership styles that enhance nurses' engagement and quality of life, while also enriching the factors that may enhance nurses' motivation and reduce their turnover intention. This study is descriptive and has an IRB number 34/165/2023.
