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
Background: Artificial intelligence is influencing healthcare delivery and nursing education; however, its responsible use requires awareness of privacy, accountability, patient safety, and human-centered communication. Evidence concerning ethical awareness among Palestinian undergraduate nursing students remains limited. Aim: To assess ethical awareness and attitudes toward artificial intelligence among undergraduate nursing students in Palestine and identify factors associated with high ethical awareness. Methods: A descriptive, analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among 276 undergraduate nursing students at Palestine Polytechnic University, Hebron, Palestine, during March and April 2025. Participants completed an anonymous self-administered questionnaire assessing sociodemographic characteristics, attitudes toward artificial intelligence, and ethical awareness. Ethical awareness was assessed using eight dichotomous items addressing ethical, legal, professional, and relational concerns. Descriptive statistics, independent-samples Results: Students demonstrated favorable views regarding the contribution of artificial intelligence to chronic disease management (87.4%), preventive healthcare (78.3%), and patient safety (73.4%). Nevertheless, ethical concerns were evident: 77.1% indicated that artificial intelligence could weaken provider-patient communication, 76.3% considered current legal regulation insufficient, and 66.2% recognized risks of reliance on artificial intelligence over human expertise. Female students reported higher ethical awareness than male students (4.08 ± 1.17 vs. 3.61 ± 1.26; Conclusion: Palestinian undergraduate nursing students expressed favorable attitudes toward artificial intelligence while recognizing ethical and professional risks. Integrating ethically grounded artificial intelligence education into nursing curricula may support safe, accountable, and patient-centered technology use.
