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

backgroundAI learning anxiety and job substitution anxiety hinder the use of AI in healthcare. Primary nurses lack training resources, a strong sense of substitution risk, and weak organizational support. Trust is the key to solving AI anxiety and using AI among primary nurses. Therefore, this study aimed to validate the mediating role of AI trust between AI anxiety and the continuous adoption of artificial intelligence technology.

methodsThis study was a cross-sectional survey, using purposive sampling to select 550 nurses. Measurement tools included a demographic information questionnaire, an AI trust scale, an organizational trust scale, an artificial intelligence anxiety scale, and continuous adoption of an artificial intelligence technology scale.

resultsOrganizational trust and AI trust mediate AI anxiety and continuous adoption of artificial intelligence technology.

conclusionPrimary institutions should enhance AI education and training to alleviate learning anxiety, optimize the human-computer collaboration process to diminish nurses' feelings of substitution, and bolster nurses' AI and organizational trust by fostering organizational support and technological transparency, increasing their willingness to maintain adoption.
