Applications of Artificial Intelligence Technologies in Nursing for Noncommunicable Chronic Diseases: A Scoping Review.
Article in Journal of nursing management, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundNoncommunicable chronic diseases (NCDs) account for approximately 41 million deaths each year and 74% of global deaths. Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used for risk prediction, monitoring, and decision support in chronic disease care, but its nursing-specific applications, implementation maturity, and ethical reporting remain incompletely mapped.
aimTo map evidence on AI applications in nursing care for NCDs, with attention to application contexts, nursing roles, technical characteristics, care phases, outcomes, and ethical governance.
methodsA scoping review was conducted and reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, PsycINFO, IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, and CNKI were searched from 1 January 1985 to 25 June 2025. Grey literature sources and reference lists were also searched. Data were charted using a structured extraction form and synthesised with descriptive statistics and content analysis.
resultsForty-three studies published between 2005 and 2025 were included. Research increased after 2020 (n = 34, 79.07%), and China and the United States each contributed 11 studies (25.58%). Oncology nursing was the most common disease area (n = 17, 39.53%). The most frequently reported AI technologies were natural language processing (n = 14, 32.56%) and risk prediction models (n = 12, 27.91%). AI was mainly used for clinical decision support (n = 17, 39.53%) and risk assessment (n = 14, 32.56%), whereas applications supporting nursing intervention design and outcome evaluation were limited. Ten studies (23.26%) did not report ethics approval.
conclusionsAI applications in nursing care for NCDs are expanding, but current evidence remains concentrated in assessment-oriented and decision-support functions. Gaps persist in intervention implementation, outcome validation, data representativeness, and ethical oversight. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: With AI currently concentrated in hospital-based settings and assessment-oriented functions, and with 32.56% of included studies not reporting nursing or patient outcome validation, nursing leaders should prioritise extending AI implementation and governance to underserved care settings through targeted workforce training, ethical oversight, and systematic evaluation using nursing-sensitive outcomes.
