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

Introduction: The extent of artificial intelligence (AI) engagement and factors influencing its use among medical and allied health students in low-resource settings are not well documented. We assessed the knowledge and correlates of ChatGPT use among medical, dental, and allied health students in Nigeria. Methods: We used a cross-sectional mixed-methods study design and self-administered structured questionnaires, followed by in-depth interviews with a sub-sample ( Results: Of the 420 respondents, 77.4% ( Conclusion: We found moderate knowledge and engagement with ChatGPT among medical and allied health students in Nigeria. Engagement was influenced by gender, age, year of study, knowledge, and attitude. Targeted education and guidelines for responsible AI use will be important in shaping the future of medical and health professional education in similar settings.
