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
backgroundTelenursing, the application of telecommunications technology to deliver nursing care, is increasingly recognized as a strategy to enhance healthcare access and efficiency. Understanding undergraduate nursing students' knowledge and perception of telenursing is critical for guiding curriculum development and promoting technology adoption in future practice. MATERIALS AND
methodsA descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 276 undergraduate nursing students at the University of Calabar, selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a structured, self-administered questionnaire and analyzed with descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests. Perception was categorized as "good" when students scored ≥70% on the Likert scale section of the instrument.
resultsMost students (96.0%) were aware of telenursing; however, only 22.8% had direct exposure to telenursing tools, and 13.4% were familiar with applications such as teleconferencing or teleconsultation. Less than half recognized its role in continuing nursing care (47.8%) or its usefulness in managing chronic conditions and surgical patients (34.1%). Overall, 49.3% of students demonstrated good perception, while 50.7% had poor perception. Significant associations were observed between perception and knowledge scores (
conclusionDespite high awareness of telenursing, practical exposure and comprehensive understanding remain limited among undergraduate nursing students in Nigeria. Integrating targeted telenursing training, enhancing digital literacy, and redesigning nursing curricula are recommended to improve readiness for technology-driven healthcare delivery.
