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
backgroundSocial media has become a crucial tool for interpersonal communication among nurses worldwide, including in South Korea. While offering various opportunities, such as education and networking, it also entails risks regarding professional ethics and boundaries. However, research measuring digital professionalism in the Korean context is inadequate. Thus, a customised, nurse-specific instrument is required to support effective evaluation, educational initiatives and policy formulation.
aimThis study aimed to translate, culturally adapt and psychometrically validate the Korean version of the Digital Professionalism Self-Assessment Instrument (K-DP-SAI) for nurses.
methodsThis study followed established guidelines for translation and cross-cultural adaptation, including forward and backward translation, synthesis, expert panel review and pilot testing. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted with 308 nurses each, and known-group validity was also performed. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega and test-retest reliability was examined using intraclass correlation coefficients.
resultsThe K-DP-SAI comprises 14 items across three factors, including 'upholding public trust through professional accountability', 'personal information protection' and 'maintenance of professional boundaries'. The scale demonstrated satisfactory content, convergent and discriminant validity with acceptable model fit indices (x CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: The K-DP-SAI is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing nurses' digital professionalism in South Korea. As an organisational safeguard, it enables managers to identify vulnerable groups and implement targeted, evidence-based education beyond simple restriction. Ultimately, K-DP-SAI supports the nurses' professional integrity in digital spaces by shifting management toward practical guidance.
