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

backgroundNursing Faculty's readiness to teach online has been recognized as a critical prerequisite for effective online teaching.

aimTo examine the Nursing Faculty's level of readiness to teach online among a sample of nursing educators from Saudi Arabia and the UK.

methodsA convenient sample of 152 (46%) Nursing Faculty from five universities across Saudi Arabia and the UK completed Part 2 of The Faculty Readiness to Teach Online (FRTO)' survey between February - June 2021. Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis One-Way Analysis of Variance tests were used to examine the differences in the average median scores of the participants' responses across selected independent variables.

resultsNursing Faculty from Saudi Arabia universities have scored significantly higher Median score than their British counterparts on the Course Design subscale (z=-2.6, p = 0.01) and Time Management subscale (z=-4.403, p = 0.001), and Nursing Faculty who completed a training course before they can teach online have also scored significantly higher median score than those who didn't on the same two subscales respectively (X

conclusionThe Nursing Faculty expressed a high level of competency in teaching online, with significant variations based on socio-demographic parameters. Future research needs to examine the factors that shape the Nursing Faculty's readiness to teach online.
