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

objectivesTo construct a systematic framework for college nursing teachers' lifelong learning ability guiding the professional development of college nursing teachers.

methodsTwenty participants (including 12 nursing teachers, 3 educational administrators, and 5 nursing students) were selected through purposive sampling from a university between July and December 2024. Semi-structured in-depth interviews guided by the five nested systems of Ecological Systems Theory (EST) were conducted to collect data, which were then analyzed using NVivo 12 software and grounded theory coding.

resultsGrounded in the five nested systems of EST (individual, micro, meso, exo, macro), the "adaptation, planning, renovation, transformation, shaping (APRTS)" framework for college nursing teachers' lifelong learning ability was proposed for the first time, including 5 core dimensions and 15 sub-dimensions. A dynamic ecological cycle mechanism (adaptation→planning→renovation→transformation→shaping) emerged across these dimensions, reflecting the systematic and interactive nature of ability development.

conclusionsGrounded in EST, this framework systematically expounds the internal logic and development laws of college nursing teachers' lifelong learning ability, providing a theoretical basis and practical reference for responding to social changes, empowering educational transformation, and optimizing the educational ecosystem. It promotes a paradigm shift in teachers' career development from passive acceptance to active change.
