From classroom to clinic: analyzing the genomics competency gap across undergraduate students, graduate students, and practicing nurses in China.
Article in BMC nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundGenomics is increasingly integral to clinical care, spanning areas such as rare diseases, oncology, and pharmacogenomics. Nurses and nursing students play essential roles as frontline providers and educators. However, current evidence suggests a widespread lack of readiness. This study evaluates and compares genomics competency across undergraduate students, graduate students, and practicing nurses in China.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted from September to October 2025 among 502 participants (136 undergraduates, 168 graduates, 198 practicing nurses) using the Chinese version of the Genetics and Genomics Nursing Practice Survey (GGNPS-CN).
resultsThe overall mean genomics knowledge score was 9.51, with no significant differences observed across cohorts. In contrast, self-rated understanding showed notable differences among cohorts. The proportion of “excellent” or “good” ratings was highest among undergraduate students, followed by practicing nurses and then graduate students (p < 0.05). Notably, over one-quarter (25.3%) of respondents reported no formal genomics education in their curriculum.
conclusionDespite similar knowledge levels, the three nursing cohorts showed a self-assessment bias in genomics. A tiered educational framework is proposed to address stage-specific needs: fostering metacognition in undergraduates, integrating research with practice in graduates, and enhancing ethical decision-making in practicing nurses.
