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

This scoping review follows the Arksey and O'Malley five-stage framework: (1) identifying research questions, (2) identifying relevant studies, (3) selecting studies, (4) extracting, mapping, and charting data, and (5) collating, summarizing, and reporting findings. The review seeks to identify the extent and type of literature and gain insights into nurses' and nursing students' experiences with using Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI). A comprehensive search was conducted across five databases. The search was limited to studies published between January 2020 and July 2025. The systematic screening process identified 20 papers for inclusion in this review. Nurses' experiences with GenAI were mainly positive, while nursing students had mixed perceptions, though mostly positive. Thematic analysis revealed that various factors underpinning their attitudinal, normative, and control beliefs are critical determinants of nurses' and students' overall experiences with GenAI and their intentions to use GenAI technologies. An overarching analysis using the theory of planned behavior mapped these factors and experiences, yielding predictions of behavioral intentions and actions regarding GenAI use. Nurse leaders are vital in shaping institutional policies and ethical guidelines to encourage responsible use of GenAI.
