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

backgroundArtificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to reshape learning processes, especially through tools such as ChatGPT.

objectivesThis study aims to evaluate veterinary students' attitudes towards AI-supported veterinary public health education applications, their anxiety levels and their experiences regarding the education process.

methodsThe study adopted a mixed method design in which quantitative and qualitative methods were used together. The study was conducted with final-year veterinary students (n = 60) enrolled in the Veterinary Public Health course. This study consisted of four phases: (1) the Artificial Intelligence Anxiety Scale (AIAS) was administered as a pre-test, (2) traditional face-to-face training was given, (3) the same topic was repeated with a ChatGPT-based AI-supported exercise and (4) after the trainings, the AIAS was administered again and post-test was conducted and a questionnaire consisting of closed and open-ended questions was administered to the students. Factor analysis revealed that the scale had high internal consistency (Cronbach's α > 0.90).

resultsAnalysis of the scale scores revealed that veterinary students exhibited moderate anxiety towards AI and that AI-focused education did not significantly alter this anxiety in the short term. In the content analysis of qualitative data, students stated that they benefited from the aspects of AI such as fast access to information, practicality and time-saving; the same time, they expressed concerns about ethical concerns, information reliability and professional role change.

conclusionOverall, the findings indicate a duality in students' potential attitudes towards AI. These findings indicate the applicability of AI-based educational practices in the context of veterinary public health education and point to the need for multidimensional evaluation of student attitudes.
