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
Background: Adequate digital competence is crucial for clinical nurses to effectively adapt to the evolving digital technologies in their practice. Currently, there is a lack of a brief assessment tool in China that comprehensively measures the digital competence of nurses in clinical practice across the dimensions of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Therefore, this study aims to translate the Digital Competence Questionnaire (DCQ) into Chinese and evaluate its psychometric properties. Methods: Following Brislin's translation model, the DCQ was translated and back-translated, and cultural adaptation and revisions of the Chinese version were conducted through expert consultations and a pilot survey. A cross-sectional study was carried out from July to October 2024 to conduct a methodological investigation on the translation and validation of the DCQ. Results: The Chinese version of the DCQ includes two dimensions-attitude and knowledge & skills-with a total of 12 items. The overall Cronbach's Conclusion: The Chinese version of the DCQ has been successfully introduced in China, demonstrating strong psychometric properties. It can be used in healthcare settings as a tool to assess the digital competence of nurses, providing a basis for developing subsequent digital technology training programs and targeted interventions.
