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

aimTo test whether nursing informatics competency (NIC) and innovation ability predict nurses' willingness for "Internet + nursing service" in China's Greater Bay Area, and examine the role of innovation ability in this relationship.

designCross-sectional study. REVIEW

methodsRecruited registered nurses via quota sampling in China's Greater Bay Area. Participants completed validated scales assessing NIC, Innovation Behaviour, and Willingness for Internet + nursing service, testing a hypothesised mediation model where innovation ability links informatics competency to willingness. DATA SOURCES: Data were collected from 544 registered nurses between January and March 2024.

resultsNurses reported moderate levels of NIC, innovation ability, and willingness for Internet + nursing service. Higher informatics competency was associated with greater innovation ability and willingness. Furthermore, innovation ability appeared as a pathway linking informatics competency to willingness.

conclusionStronger NIC and innovation ability may boost nurses' readiness for Internet-enabled care in the Greater Bay Area. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Targeted informatics and innovation training can enhance nurses' readiness for these digital services. IMPACT: Addressing the need for enhanced digital nursing ('Internet + nursing service') for the aging population in China's Greater Bay Area, this study found moderate nurse informatics competency, innovation ability, and willingness to engage in this service. Higher competency and innovation were linked to greater willingness, with informatics competency influencing willingness directly and through innovation ability. These findings impact nursing practice, education, and policy in the region, informing strategies to improve digital service readiness. REPORTING

methodThis study adheres to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patients or members of the public were involved in study design, conduct, reporting, or dissemination.
