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

Background: Current research does not examine how distinct AI literacy profiles are differentially associated with learning engagement, thereby impeding the development of stratified and precise training plans for nursing students. Objective: To identify latent profiles of artificial intelligence literacy among undergraduate nursing students, characterize their distributional features, and examine the relationship between distinct AI literacy profiles and learning engagement. Methods: The study included 479 Chinese undergraduate nursing students who finished the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-Student Version and the Artificial Intelligence Literacy Scale. Latent profile analysis was conducted using item-level AI literacy scores as manifest indicators. Results: Three distinct profiles of AI literacy were identified: low literacy-ethically cautious, medium literacy-balanced development, and high literacy-fully mature. Non-parametric test results demonstrated significant differences in learning engagement and its dimensions across the three AI literacy profiles. After controlling for relevant confounding factors in multilevel linear regression analyses, AI literacy profile remained significantly associated with learning engagement, accounting for an additional 31.2% of the variance. Students in the medium and high AI literacy groups demonstrated significantly higher levels of learning engagement compared to those in the low literacy group. Conclusion: Undergraduate nursing students' AI literacy is heterogeneous and markedly related to learning engagement. These findings provide valuable insights for improving student engagement in AI-supported learning environments.
