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
Background: The digitalisation of healthcare requires nurses to possess strong Digital Health Literacy (DHL) to ensure patient safety. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between DHL and perceptions of PSC among registered nurses in Jordan and to identify the demographic and professional factors associated with varying levels of DHL. Methods: A multi-center, cross-sectional survey was conducted from July to September 2025 across five public, private, and university-affiliated hospitals in Jordan. A sample of 500 registered nurses was recruited using stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a validated, seven-part composite questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, reliability analysis (Cronbach's alpha), and structural equation modelling. Results: The results confirmed the study's primary hypothesis, revealing a significant and strong positive predictive relationship between DHL and PSC ( Conclusion: Digital health literacy was significantly associated with better patient safety culture among Jordanian nurses, driven more by organisational and educational factors than generational stereotypes. To realise the safety benefits of digital health investments, institutions should strengthen nurses' digital and critical appraisal skills and remove organisational barriers.
