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

Background: Growth mindset is increasingly valued for its important role in the training of nursing students. However, research on the development of tools to measure growth mindset effectively among nursing students is limited. Objective: To develop a measurement tool to evaluate nursing students' growth mindset. Design: A cross-sectional methodological study. Participants and setting: A total of 271 nursing students from 4 universities or university colleges in Zhejiang and Hunan participated in the study. Methods: Domains and items of nursing students' growth mindset were identified and created by conducting a literature review and qualitative interviews. To test the content validity, a 2-round Delphi was adopted, and a pilot implementation was conducted with 30 nursing students. The construct validity of the scale was tested using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses ( Results: According to the exploratory factor analysis results, the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value was 0.87, and the Bartlett test's χ Conclusion: This scale is a reliable and valid measurement tool to determine nursing students' level of growth mindset. Further studies with larger and more diverse samples are recommended to evaluate the psychometric structure of this scale.
