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

Background: Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) Literacy hold significant implications for pre-professional nursing students' academic and professional development, potentially influencing their workforce readiness. However, existing studies have overlooked the inter-individual heterogeneity among pre-professional nursing students, and few have explored the correlation between their GenAI Literacy and workforce readiness. Purpose: This study aims to identify the latent profiles and influencing factors of their GenAI literacy, and to compare the differences in workforce readiness across these latent profiles. Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed. From November 2025 to February 2026, 750 pre-professional nursing students from different geographical regions in China were recruited. Participants completed the College Students' GenAI Literacy Scale and the Nursing Practice Readiness Scale. Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) was used to identify the profiles of GenAI Literacy among pre-professional nursing students. Two-category logistic regression was conducted to evaluate the predictors of different profiles. One-way ANOVA and rank-sum test were used to compare the workforce readiness across these profiles. Results: Three latent profiles of GenAI literacy were identified: Low GenAI literacy group ( Conclusion: Pre-professional nursing students' GenAI literacy can be classified into three latent profiles. Enhancing GenAI literacy may improve their overall workforce readiness.
