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

aimsTo understand the current status of artificial intelligence (AI) literacy among undergraduate nursing students through latent profile analysis, identify potential subgroups and their population characteristics, and analyze the influencing factors of different profile categories.

designA cross-sectional study.

methodsThe study utilized 686 undergraduate nursing students from an undergraduate college in Guangdong Province as research subjects. The study employed a number of research tools, including demographic characteristics, the Artificial Intelligence Literacy Scale (AILS), and the Artificial Intelligence Self-Efficacy Questionnaire. A latent profile model of undergraduate nursing students’ AI literacy was analyzed using Mplus 8.3. The influencing factors of each profile model were analyzed by multiple logistic regression analysis.

results686 nursing students were finally included. Undergraduate nursing students’ AI literacy score was (64.69 ± 11.00). Undergraduate nursing students’ AI literacy could be categorized into three latent profile analysis: low AI literacy group (18.80%), moderate AI literacy group (58.50%) and high AI literacy group (22.70%). Logistic regression analysis showed that grade, only child status, mother’s education level, whether interested in AI technology, frequency of AI technology use in the past 3 months, whether used AI tools and AI self-efficacy were the influencing factors of potential categories among undergraduate nursing students’ AI literacy (P < 0.05).

conclusionThe findings revealed the heterogeneity of AI literacy among undergraduate nursing students and could guide the identification and early intervention of undergraduate nursing students with low AI literacy. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
