ChatGPT usage among nursing students in Taiwan: a qualitative study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundChatGPT enhances students’ understanding of complex healthcare concepts and demonstrates significant potential for nursing education and research. In Taiwan, nursing students have used ChatGPT independently in various courses. Understanding students’ perspectives is essential to nursing education, and ChatGPT shows promise as an educational tool; nonetheless, further empirical research is required to fully understand the impact of ChatGPT usage on education.
methodsThis study included 20 nursing students (15 females, five males) enrolled in a 4-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program in Eastern Taiwan. A qualitative research approach with purposive and snowball sampling was employed to gather information on nursing students’ experiences in online practicum courses. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and the collected data were analyzed using an eight-step content analysis process. The research was conducted in private spaces convenient for the participants.
resultsIn-depth interviews revealed the advantages: “Convenient artificial intelligence (AI) assistant,” and “Enhancing self-learning effectiveness,” and disadvantages: “Challenges of ChatGPT usage,” and “Gap between ChatGPT and nursing.” Each main theme comprised three to four subthemes.
conclusionsGenerative AI is a valuable assistive tool that supports students in nursing practice. However, nursing educators should guide students in using generative AI appropriately and incorporate it into their instructional strategies.
