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
Objective: To compare ChatGPT's perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEU) between users and non-users among undergraduate physical therapy (PT) students, and to describe their usage patterns. Methods: A comparative cross-sectional survey was conducted based on the technology acceptance model among PT students at Beni-Suef University, Egypt, during the academic year of 2024-2025. Eligible students completed a self-administered questionnaire to assess demographic and academic variables, PU, PEU, and ChatGPT utilization patterns. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent Results: Among 475 respondents, 56.8 % (n = 270) were ChatGPT users. The mean age was 20.8 ± 1.46 years and 52.6 % were females. Users had significantly higher cumulative grade point average (CGPA) scores than non-users (3.4 ± 0.38 vs 3.2 ± 0.52; Conclusion: ChatGPT users perceived it as significantly more useful and easier to use than non-users. Academic characteristics influenced these perceptions rather than personal factors. Despite early adoption, use by PT students remains basic, highlighting the need for structured AI training in PT education.
