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

backgroundIn nursing education, telenursing presents many challenges that contribute to psychological distress among nursing students. Understanding these challenges is essential for improving learning outcomes and student well-being. This study aimed to examine factors contributing to psychological distress among nursing students engaged in telenursing, as well as the possible relationships between these factors.

methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted with a purposive sample of 204 students. A structured questionnaire was distributed to collect data from the nursing students. Using SPSS (version 28), uni-, bi-, and multivariate analyses were performed to explore the relationships between variables.

resultsMost participants reported moderate knowledge (mean: 7.77, standard deviation [SD]: 1.95; range: 0-10), attitudes (mean: 37.15, SD: 6.70; range: 12-50), and psychological distress (mean: 14.09, SD: 3.99; range: 6-24) related to telenursing. Significant differences were found in access to computers and distress levels (p = 0.016). Attitude was negatively related to psychological distress (r = -0.207, p = 0.003) and positively associated with knowledge (r = 0.295, p < 0.001). In the regression analysis, the models for knowledge, attitude, and psychological distress were significant (p < 0.05).

conclusionsThis study highlights the need for educators to foster a learning environment that supports student success and well-being. Implementing technology training programs, encouraging positive attitudes toward telenursing, and developing strategies to reduce distress are recommended. Future interventional studies should focus on improving nursing education and practice while fostering a supportive environment.
