From theory to practice: a systematic review and meta-analysis of ethical sensitivity in Iranian nursing students.
Review in Journal of medical ethics and history of medicine, 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
Ethical sensitivity is vital for nursing students as it affects decision-making and care quality. This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed ethical sensitivity among Iranian nursing students. For this purpose, databases (MagIran, SID, PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, and Web of Science) were searched up to December 30, 2024. Observational studies reporting ethical sensitivity scores were selected, and scores were standardized to a 0-100 scale. Heterogeneity was assessed using I², and analyses were performed with STATA. Sixteen studies yielded a pooled ethical sensitivity score of 67% (95% CI: 62-72), with substantial heterogeneity (I² = 87.2%). Subgroup analyses (by publication year and language) and meta-regression (age, sample size) identified no significant moderators, and sensitivity analysis and trim-and-fill confirmed the stability of the estimate. Based on the findings, ethical sensitivity among Iranian nursing students is moderate, which highlights the need for targeted educational interventions and enhanced clinical experiences.
