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
Emergency department overcrowding places sustained pressure on triage workflows and patient prioritization. Artificial intelligence (AI)-augmented triage systems have been introduced to support emergency decision-making, but frontline adoption may depend on both technology-related perceptions and human-organizational conditions. This study examined factors associated with emergency nurses' attitudes and intention to use AI-augmented triage systems, with particular attention to psychological safety and perceived risk. A multi-hospital cross-sectional survey was conducted among 162 frontline triage nurses across nine pilot hospitals in Shanghai between June and August 2025. All participants had at least six months of emergency triage experience and at least three months of actual experience using the AI-augmented triage system. Partial least squares structural equation modelling was used to assess the measurement and structural models. The model explained 57.2% of the variance in attitude and 41.0% of the variance in intention to use. Task-technology fit (β = 0.483, 95% CI [0.387, 0.574]), perceived explainability (β = 0.385, 95% CI [0.280, 0.484]), and psychological safety (β = 0.401, 95% CI [0.294, 0.512]) were positively associated with attitude. Attitude was positively associated with intention to use (β = 0.629, 95% CI [0.526, 0.710]). Perceived risk showed a small negative moderating effect on the association between attitude and intention to use (β = - 0.139, p = 0.039, f
