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

Objective: The Educational Leadership Scale for Nursing Students (ELS-NS) was introduced and revised as part of this study, which also aimed to evaluate the scale's validity and reliability in a Chinese cultural setting. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study conducted from March to October 2024. The research employed a multifaceted approach that included internal consistency testing, item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis. The sample comprised 508 nursing students from three medical universities located in Liaoning Province, China. Furthermore, a subset of 50 nursing students participated in a retest after a two-week interval to evaluate the reliability of the findings. Results: The Chinese version of the ELS-NS comprised 19 items, and exploratory factor analysis revealed three distinct factors that accounted for 67.251% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the adequacy of a three-factor model, as evidenced by the following fit indices: Conclusion: The Chinese adaptation of the Educational Leadership Scale for Nursing Students (ELS-NS) has been demonstrated to be a valid and reliable instrument for evaluating nursing students' inclination toward educational leadership across three dimensions: visionary leadership, instructional leadership, and scientific leadership. This assessment contributes to the enhancement of nursing education and practice by providing insights from various perspectives.
