Nursing students' perceived effectiveness of ethics education: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC medical education, 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
objectiveThis study aimed to examine nursing students' perceived effectiveness of ethics education (measured by the Students' Perceived Effectiveness of Ethics Education Scale) and to identify factors associated with perceived effectiveness scores.
methodsThe study included 1228 nursing students enrolled at Atatürk University. A sample of 235 students who met the inclusion criteria agreed to participate. Data were collected online using the "Sociodemographic Form" and the "Students' Perceived Effectiveness of Ethics Education Scale."
resultsThe mean total score on the Students' Perceived Effectiveness of Ethics Education Scale was 64.98 ± 10.43 (range 21-84), above the theoretical midpoint (52.5). In multivariable linear regression, perceived course efficiency, satisfaction with nursing, and family structure were associated with perceived effectiveness scores (p < 0.05). Because normative cut-offs for this instrument are limited, scores were interpreted relative to the theoretical midpoint.
conclusionNursing students reported perceived effectiveness of ethics education above the theoretical midpoint. Perceived course efficiency, satisfaction with nursing, and family structure were associated with higher perceived effectiveness scores. These findings reflect self-reported perceptions in a cross-sectional design and should not be interpreted as evidence of objective ethical competence or causal effects.
