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
backgroundArtificial intelligence is rapidly advancing and being integrated into healthcare, potentially revolutionizing patient care and improving outcomes by leveraging large datasets and complex algorithms.
aimInvestigate the moderating role of ethical awareness between nurses' artificial intelligence perceptions, attitudes, and innovative work behaviors. DESIGN AND
methodsA cross-sectional descriptive correlational design adhering to STROBE guidelines. A non-probability convenience sample of 415 Alexandria Main University Hospital nurses was analyzed. Statistical methods included one-way ANOVA, the student t-test, and the Pearson coefficient, with results evaluated for significance at the 5% level and internal consistency assessed via Cronbach's α. Linear regression assessed the predicting and moderating effect between ethical awareness, nurses' artificial intelligence perceptions, attitudes, and innovative work behavior. The perceptions of using the Artificial Intelligence Scale, general attitudes towards the Artificial Intelligence Scale, ethical awareness of Using Artificial Intelligence, and the Employee Innovative Behavior Scale were used to respond to the research aim.
resultsThe study revealed that perception of AI use among nurses has a mean score of 50.25 (SD = 3.49), attitudes towards AI have a mean score of 71.40 (SD = 4.98), ethical awareness regarding AI use shows a mean score of 43.85 (SD = 3.39), and nurses innovative behavior exhibits a mean score of 83.63 (SD = 5.22). Attitude and ethical awareness were statistically significant predictors of innovation. Specifically, for every one-unit increase in attitude, innovative work behaviors increase by 1.796 units (p = 0.001), and for every one-unit increase in ethical awareness, innovative work behaviors increase by 2.567 units (p = 0.013). The interaction effects between perception, ethical awareness, attitude, and ethical awareness were also examined. Only the interaction between attitude and ethical awareness was found to be significant (p = 0.002), suggesting that the effect of attitude on innovative work behaviors depends on the level of ethical awareness. In other words, ethical awareness moderates the relationship between attitudes and innovative work behaviors rather than perception and innovation.
conclusionThere is a statistically significant correlation between attitude, ethical awareness, and creativity, highlighting that ethical awareness moderates the relationship between attitudes and innovative work behaviors. These findings emphasize the importance of ethical awareness in fostering positive attitudes towards AI and enhancing innovative practices in nursing, ultimately contributing to nurses' well-being.
