The Predictive Role of Community of Inquiry in Shaping Students' Creative Self-Concept: A Cross-Sectional Study.

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
backgroundCreative self-concept is essential for nursing students as it supports innovation, adaptability and problem-solving in clinical practice. The community of inquiry framework offers a model for promoting reflective and meaningful learning. This study explored the role of community of inquiry and demographics as predictors of creative self-concept among Saudi nursing students.
methodsA cross-sectional, correlational design was used with 394 nursing students from a public university in Riyadh, selected through stratified random sampling. Data was collected using validated self-report instruments: the community of inquiry Survey and Short Scale of Creative Self.
resultsStudents reported moderate levels across community of inquiry subscales and moderately high Creative self-concept. It was positively correlated with all community of inquiry dimensions, particularly the Resolution subscale. Regression analysis showed age, year of study, Design and Organisation and Resolution significantly predicted creative self-concept (Adjusted R
conclusionFindings suggest that student creativity-related self-beliefs are more strongly associated with instructional design and organisation, and with learning experiences that emphasise application and resolution than with general engagement alone. However, the modest proportion of explained variance indicates that creative self-concept is likely shaped by additional personal and contextual factors beyond CoI, highlighting the need for curricula that cultivate creative confidence and for longitudinal research to clarify causal pathways. PUBLIC CONTRIBUTIONS: Undergraduate nursing students indirectly contributed by providing feedback during data collection through their responses to the survey instruments.
