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

backgroundToday, university students are experiencing increasing anxiety about finding a job after graduation. One of the factors intensifying this concern is the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and their potential to replace human labor in certain professions.

methodsThis study examined the association between attitudes toward AI and job finding anxiety (JFA), as well as other factors related to JFA, among senior students in health-related disciplines. The study was conducted as an analytical cross-sectional design. Data were collected using the Descriptive Information Form, the General Attitude Towards Artificial Intelligence Scale, and the Job Finding Anxiety Scale. The study population consisted of 478 students, and the sample included 326 senior students in the Faculty of Health Sciences at a university between November and December 2024.

resultsThe analysis revealed that internet technology usage status, department, and knowledge about the use of AI in healthcare were significantly associated with students' JFA. The multiple regression model explained 16.9% of the variance in JFA (adjusted R² = 0.169). A weak positive correlation was found between students' internet technology use and their JFA scores (r = 0.168, p < 0.05). No significant relationship was identified between students' attitudes toward AI and their JFA.

conclusionsThe findings indicate that students' JFA is shaped more by their academic context, use of internet technologies, and knowledge of the application of AI in healthcare than by their general attitudes toward AI. Accordingly, strategies to reduce JFA among health sciences students should prioritize the development of AI-related professional competence rather than attempting to modify general attitudes toward AI. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: not applicable.
