The Relationship Between the Perception of Undergraduate Nursing Students of the Nursing Concept Map and Their Learning Styles.
Article in Florence Nightingale journal of 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
aimThis study aimed to assess nursing students' perceptions of concept mapping, explore their learning preferences, and examine its relationship with learning styles.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted. A total of 174 female nursing students were recruited using a convenience sampling method. Data collection tools included the Scale for the Effectiveness of Concept Maps in Nursing Education, a 30-item Likert-Scale Questionnaire assessing perceptions of concept mapping effectiveness; the visual, auditory, reading/writing, and kinesthetic questionnaire, measuring learning style preferences; and a single Likert-scale question assessing the perceived difficulty of creating concept maps.
resultsThe average participant age was 21 years, with a grade point average of 4.25. Students reported high mean scores on the Scale for the Effectiveness of Concept Maps in Nursing Education (M = 85.09), indicating strong endorsement of concept mapping for integrating care plans and processing information. Significant positive correlations were found between concept map effectiveness and care planning, information processing, and perceived difficulty. Visual, auditory, reading/writing, and kinesthetic results showed high preferences across all learning styles, with a significant correlation (p = .002) between concept mapping and the visual learning style.
conclusionConcept mapping is an effective strategy for enhancing nursing education, especially for visual learners. Cite this article as: Ibraheem, A., Hussein, A. S. E., & Hussein, E. S. E. (2026).
