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

introductionCultural diversity in health care requires nursing students to develop transcultural sensitivity and critical thinking to provide equitable care. This study explored the relationship between transcultural nursing sensitivity and critical thinking among senior nursing students in Türkiye.

methodsA descriptive, cross-sectional, correlational design was conducted with 151 senior nursing interns from a university nursing department. Data were collected online using the Student Information Form, the California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory, and the Turkish Intercultural Sensitivity Scale.

resultsThe mean age of participants was 22.49 ± 1.52 years; 74.2% were female and 84.1% were Turkish. While 72.8% had experience with culturally diverse patients, 88.8% lacked formal intercultural training. Mean scores reflected moderate-to-high intercultural sensitivity (87.4 ± 11.47) and critical thinking (254.04 ± 27.85). Critical thinking significantly predicted intercultural sensitivity (β = .688, DISCUSSION: Findings confirm a significant correlation, supporting integration of these skills into nursing education.
