Academic integrity among nursing students: A survey of knowledge and behavior.
Article in Nursing ethics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundMinimal research has been done to determine how well European nursing students understand the core principles of academic integrity and how often they deviate from good academic practice.
aimThe aim of this study was to find out what educational needs nursing students have in terms of academic integrity. RESEARCH
designA quantitative cross-sectional study in the form of a survey of nursing students was conducted via questionnaire in the fall of 2020.
participantsThe sample was composed of 79 students in the BScN and MScN programs at Zürich University of Applied Sciences. ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS: An application for a non-competence clearance was approved by the Ethics Committee in Zurich (BASEC No. Req-2020-00868). The survey was anonymous, and informed consent was obtained prior to participation.
resultsThe participants had a high level of confidence in their own knowledge but were in many cases unable to correctly identify clear-cut examples of misconduct and to differentiate them from questionable practices. About 13% of the participants admitted that during their university education they had copied shorter passages from other sources into their own text without marking them as quotes.
conclusionsThe study documents extensive knowledge gaps among nursing students regarding both academic misconduct and questionable practices and indicates a need for improved academic integrity training.
