1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 (AI) is increasingly applied in healthcare to boost productivity, reduce administrative workloads, and improve patient outcomes. In nursing, AI offers both opportunities and challenges. This study explores nurses' perspectives on implementing AI in nursing practice within the context of Jordan, focusing on the perceived benefits and concerns related to its integration.

methodA qualitative research approach was employed, involving semi-structured interviews with 25 nurses and 3 focus group discussions, each consisting of 7-8 participants. The data collected was coded and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns and key themes in the nurses' views on AI.

resultsThree major themes emerged from the analysis: (1) AI as an efficiency tool - Nurses recognized AI's ability to reduce administrative burdens and improve patient monitoring in real-time. (2) Ethical and practical concerns - Nurses raised issues regarding patient privacy, data security, and the fear that AI might replace human decision-making in care. (3) Lack of preparedness and training - There was a consensus on nurses' inadequate training in AI tools, limiting their ability to integrate AI into their practice fully.

conclusionWhile AI is seen as a valuable tool to enhance nursing productivity, several challenges still need to be addressed, particularly regarding ethical concerns and insufficient training. To ensure AI complements nursing without compromising the human element, healthcare institutions must address these issues by implementing comprehensive training programs and establishing clear ethical guidelines.
