21st-century skills among generation Z physical therapy students: a cross-sectional study on associated factors.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundThe emergence of evidence-based practice in healthcare has positioned physical therapy (PT) to play a unique role in the 21st-century. This study aimed to examine the 21st-century skills of PT students and compare them across certain individual and academic characteristics that might be relevant.
methodsA total of 407 PT students [median age, 21.0 (20.0/22.0) years] were included in the study. The structured survey form created using Google Forms was sent to the students through messaging apps. The survey comprised questions addressing students’ individual and academic characteristics, along with items from the Multi-Dimensional 21st-Century Skills Scale.
resultsPT students demonstrated a good level of 21st-century skills. Male students showed higher scores in information and technology literacy and entrepreneurship and innovation skills, while female students exhibited greater career awareness (p˂0.05). Students who actively participated in social and academic activities displayed higher scores in information and technology literacy, entrepreneurship and innovation, social responsibility and leadership, and career awareness (p˂0.05). Fourth-year students scored higher in information and technology literacy, critical thinking and problem-solving, entrepreneurship and innovation, and social responsibility and leadership skills (p˂0.05).
conclusionsThese findings suggest that fostering active engagement in diverse social and academic activities is crucial for holistic skill development and that curriculum design should consider gender-specific strengths to ensure all students are comprehensively prepared for their future careers.
