Nursing students' attitudes toward cross-gender care: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC research notes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesThis study aimed to assess nursing students' attitudes toward providing cross-gender care and to identify the factors influencing these attitudes.
resultsA cross-sectional study of 338 nursing students in Northern India found that over half (50.9%) had unfavorable attitudes towards cross-gender care. Female students demonstrated significantly more positive attitudes than male students (p < 0.01). Multiple regression analysis identified gender (β = 0.246, p < 0.001), academic year (β=-0.150, p = 0.009), and prior experience with cross-gender care (β = 0.100, p = 0.048) as significant predictors of attitudes. The regression model explained 19.9% of the variance in attitudes (R²=0.199, p < 0.001). Male students expressed concerns about providing quality physical care and emotional support for patients and felt inadequately prepared to provide physical and emotional support to opposite-gender patients. These findings highlight the need for enhanced gender-sensitive training in nursing education to improve attitudes and competencies in cross-gender care provision.
