Nurses' innovative use of information systems: a narrative review.
Review in Frontiers in public health, 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
Background: Despite the widespread adoption of Nursing Information Systems (NIS), nurses often remain positioned as passive users, which limits the potential for system-driven care transformation. Objectives: This narrative review synthesizes evidence on nurses' innovative use behaviors in NIS to identify actionable pathways for empowering nurses as co-designers of digital health solutions. Methods: A synthesis of peer-reviewed literature was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP. Studies were selected based on relevance to nurses' roles in NIS innovation following the SANRA principles. Results: Nurses are key drivers in NIS innovation, shifting from passive users to proactive contributors to digital health. Evidence shows nurse-led initiatives improve patient safety, documentation, and care efficiency. Theories explain how nurses adapt NIS to clinical needs, especially in resource-limited settings. However, barriers remain, including inconsistent policies, inadequate digital training, and unequal system access. Discussion: Advancing NIS innovation may require a policy shift from basic functional training toward structural empowerment. Policymakers and healthcare leaders should consider positioning nurses as system co-designers, providing protected resources and formal incentive mechanisms to foster a sustainable digital nursing ecosystem.
