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

backgroundThe quality of generative nursing diagnoses and plans reported in existing research remains a topic of debate, and previous studies have primarily utilized ChatGPT as the sole large language mode. PURPOSE: To explore the quality of nursing diagnoses and plans generated by a prompt framework across different large language models (LLMs) and assess the potential applicability of LLMs in clinical settings.

methodsWe designed a structured nursing assessment template and iteratively developed a prompt framework incorporating various prompting techniques. We then evaluated the quality of nursing diagnoses and care plans generated by this framework across two distinct LLMs(ERNIE Bot 4.0 and Moonshot AI), while also assessing their clinical utility.

resultsThe scope and nature of the nursing diagnoses generated by ERNIE Bot 4.0 and Moonshot AI were similar to the "gold standard" nursing diagnoses and care plans.The structured assessment template effectively and comprehensively captures the key characteristics of neurosurgical patients, while the strategic use of prompting techniques has enhanced the generalization capabilities of the LLMs.

conclusionOur research further confirms the potential of LLMs in clinical nursing practice.However, significant challenges remain in the effective integration of LLM-assisted nursing processes into clinical environments.
