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

backgroundThis study aims to investigate the effects of using patient scenarios generated by artificial intelligence in rehabilitation education through different training models (artificial intelligence-based, internet-supported + traditional, and traditional only) on students’ digital competence, clinical self-efficacy, and attitudes towards artificial intelligence.

methodsNinety volunteer students were included in the study and divided into three groups using block randomisation: (1) artificial intelligence-supported (2), internet-supported + traditional method, and (3) traditional method only. An 8-week training programme was conducted for each scenario, consisting of weekly 90-minute sessions that alternated between assessment and treatment applications. The Digital Competence Self-Assessment Scale, Clinical Self-Efficacy Scale, and Artificial Intelligence Attitude Scale were administered before and after the intervention. One-way ANOVA or Kruskal–Wallis tests were used for between-group comparisons, and paired t-tests were used for within-group changes (α = 0.05).

resultsIn the intra-group analyses, a significant increase was observed in clinical self-efficacy and artificial intelligence attitude scores in all groups (p < .05). Digital competence increased in the AI-supported and internet-supported + traditional groups (p < .05). Intergroup comparisons revealed significant differences in digital competence and AI attitude scores (p < .05). The increase in clinical self-efficacy scores was not significant at the intergroup level (p > .05).

conclusionArtificial intelligence-based scenario training increases the level of digital competence in rehabilitation students and develops positive attitudes towards artificial intelligence. The findings indicate that this method can be integrated into educational programmes to strengthen clinical training processes. Further studies with larger samples, longer-term interventions, and objective performance measures are recommended to understand the effects on clinical skills.
