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

backgroundInvesting in and supporting the nursing workforce through innovative education and training opportunities are imperative. There is limited evidence to support the use of mobile learning (mLearning) in undergraduate nursing programs in India. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis observational cohort study evaluated undergraduate nurses' acceptance and adoption of mLearning by analyzing a convenience sample of 74 third-year undergraduate nurses enrolled in a four-year Bachelor of Nursing program at a regional university in India in 2020. Students completed a four-week mLearning program that provided foundational knowledge about chronic disease management and primary health care via an experiential learning technology platform. An extended version of the Delone and McLean model for information system success questionnaire that included self-efficacy (SE) was administered pre- and post-learning programs to evaluate the acceptance and adoption. Partial least squares based on structural equation modeling were used to test the validity of the proposed model for mLearning acceptance and adoption.

resultsThe findings support the role of SE, system quality, intention/actual use, and user satisfaction as important constructs for successful mLearning. Information quality and service quality were not key factors that influenced undergraduate nurses' acceptance and adoption of mLearning.

conclusionThis study makes an important contribution to the literature as the first study to examine the acceptance and adoption of mLearning among nursing students in India. It provides valuable information for higher-degree educational program developers and designers. It recommends that universities implement pre-program workshops and/or training to build student SE and support their capacity to use mLearning.
