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

backgroundGenerative artificial intelligence chatbots have become increasingly popular in the nursing education. Numerous academics have integrated them into their courses to assess the effects of artificial intelligence-supported teaching method. However, few researches have examined the impact of generative artificial intelligence chatbots in nursing education in conjunction with a particular teaching methodology. This study introduced a novel teaching method called "generative artificial intelligence chatbots + project task driven teaching" and investigated the potential effects of the teaching method on nursing undergraduates' nursing research ability and nursing research self-efficacy.

methodsThe study was conducted among 108 nursing undergraduates at Ningxia Medical University who participated in the "generative artificial intelligence chatbots + project task driven teaching" in the Nursing Research Course from September to November 2023. Sociodemographic characteristics questionnaire, Nursing research capacity of self-evaluation questionnaire, Nursing research self-efficacy questionnaire, and Curriculum effectiveness evaluation form were used to collect data. The analysis included the descriptive statistics and the paired t-test. The demographic data was summarized using descriptive statistics, and the change in nursing research capacity and nursing research self-efficacy of nursing undergraduates before and after the Nursing Research Course was compared using the paired t-test. The significance level was set at P < 0.05.

resultsFollowing the training, students' nursing research capacity and nursing research self-efficacy significantly improved (P < 0.05), with the exception of data processing capacity (P = 0.165). The curriculum effectiveness evaluation form showed that only a few students believed that the teaching mode was ineffective, which indicated that most students still had a favorable opinion of it.

conclusionsNursing undergraduates can better adapt to the "generative artificial intelligence chatbots + project task driven teaching", and the teaching mode had also achieved positive results in nursing research courses, which has improved students' nursing research ability and nursing research self-efficacy. This also provides a credible reference for using generative artificial intelligence chatbots in subsequent nursing education reform.
