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

backgroundPositive learning behavior plays a pivotal role in the professional development of undergraduate nursing students. It supports the growth of their knowledge base, enhances the quality of their learning, and enables them to assume meaningful roles in clinical services as well as dynamic educational settings. Despite this importance, there is currently no specialized tool tailored for nursing students in Iran. This study seeks to translate and assess the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Learning Behavior Questionnaire (LBQ) within this population.

methodsThis methodological cross-sectional study involved 511 nursing students selected through convenience sampling. The LBQ was translated into Persian following the guidelines recommended by the World Health Organization. The reliability and validity of the instrument were evaluated using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and internal consistency measures.

resultsThe exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses validated the questionnaire's structure, identifying four factors with 19 items, which collectively explained 67.26% of the total variance. The CFA demonstrated a well-fitting model with the following indices: CFI = 0.93, GFI = 0.907, IFI = 0.952, TLI = 0.940, RMSEA = 0.075, and SRMR = 0.049. The reliability measures indicated strong internal consistency, with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.882 and an Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) of 0.873 for the overall questionnaire.

conclusionThe Persian version of the LBQ exhibits strong reliability and validity, making it a reliable instrument for evaluating the learning behaviors of nursing students in Iran.
