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

backgroundNursing has historically been perceived as a female-dominated profession due to deeply rooted gender norms. Although legal and social advancements have promoted gender equality, male nurses remain underrepresented worldwide. Gender-related stereotypes continue to shape nursing education and practice by influencing the roles, expectations, and opportunities for both male and female nurses. This study aimed to explore how gender norms impact the experiences of nursing students and educators in Türkiye.

methodsA qualitative descriptive design was employed, using semi-structured individual interviews with 14 nursing students and 15 educators. Participants were recruited from diverse academic and clinical settings through purposive sampling. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns and key insights from the data.

resultsThree main themes with eight subthemes emerged: (1) The Impact of Gender on Professional Identity Perception, (2) Gender-based Experiences in Educational and Clinical Settings, and (3) The Role of Gender in Professional Socialization. The findings revealed that gender norms significantly influenced perceptions, experiences, and interactions within both educational and clinical contexts.

conclusionsParticipants described how gender influenced their perceptions, experiences, and professional socialization. Many reported that gender-based stereotypes and biases affected educational and clinical practices, posing challenges to equal participation. Targeted strategies, including curriculum reforms, gender-sensitive mentorship programs, and institutional policies, are essential for creating a more inclusive and equitable nursing education and practice environment in Türkiye.
