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: In the evolving digital healthcare landscape, nurses are required to adapt to emerging technologies and demonstrate digital health literacy (DHL) to ensure high-quality patient care. DHL may enhance nurses' self-efficacy (SE) and foster innovative work behavior (IWB), both of which are essential for professional development and healthcare innovation. Objective: This study aimed to explore the role of digital health literacy in shaping nurses' self-efficacy and innovative work behavior. Methods: A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted among all available intensive care unit nurses ( Results: Nurses reported a mean digital health literacy score of 68.34 ± 10.61 (75.14% of the maximum possible score). The mean self-efficacy score was (32.36 ± 6.30). Approximately 66% of participants exhibited relatively high scores of innovative work behavior, particularly in the domains of idea generation and implementation. Statistically significant positive correlations were found between DHL and SE ( Conclusion: Digital health literacy was positively associated with nurses' self-efficacy and innovative work behavior, with self-efficacy partially mediating the association within the tested model. These findings suggest that integrating DHL into continuous professional development and nursing curricula may be beneficial to support digital transformation in healthcare.
