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

Objectives: This review aimed to systematically analyze the technological frameworks, application scenarios, and outcomes of large language model-driven agents (LLMDAs) in nursing practice, and to summarize ethical, technological, and practical challenges, guiding future research and clinical implementation. Methods: This scoping review was conducted following the JBI guidelines. Five databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, APA PsycNet, Cochrane Library) were systematically searched for peer-reviewed English-language studies from inception until September 9, 2025. Eligible studies were screened by title and abstract, with full-text assessments conducted independently by two reviewers. Results: Twenty-five studies published between 2023 and 2025 were included, involving nine countries, primarily China ( Conclusions: LLMDAs offer a novel paradigm for intelligent transformation in nursing care through integrative technological frameworks. They demonstrate considerable potential in enhancing clinical decision-making accuracy, efficiency of care delivery, and patient satisfaction. Addressing existing ethical, technical, and practical challenges is essential for facilitating broader clinical adoption.
