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

aimThis study aimed to analyse the latent profiles of moral sensitivity of nursing students and to explore the different types of influencing factors.

designA cross-sectional study.

methodsConvenience sampling method was used to select nursing students from five hospitals in Zunyi City, Guizhou Province, from July to September 2024. The demographic characteristics questionnaire and the Chinese version of the Nursing Student Moral Sensitivity Scale (MSQ-ST) were used as survey tools. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was performed on the moral sensitivity of nursing students. Logistic regression was used to analyse the influencing factors of different profiles.

resultsA total of 805 nursing students completed the questionnaire, of which 787 were valid, with a validity rate of 97.76%. The results of latent profile analysis showed that the moral sensitivity of nursing students was divided into two latent profiles: "low moral sensitivity group" (18.68%) and "high moral sensitivity group" (81.32%), and the results of logistic regression analysis showed that the level of hospital, the length of internship and the frequency of training on moral education were the factors influencing the moral sensitivity of nursing students (p < 0.05).

conclusionIn this study, we have demonstrated that there are two categories of moral sensitivity in nursing students, and that demographic traits have an impact on moral sensitivity in nursing students. These findings may provide a valuable theoretical foundation for nursing educators in developing the moral awareness of nursing students. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
