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

Aim: To investigate the current situation of clinical nurses' attitudes towards artificial intelligence in county hospitals and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide a reference for promoting the application of artificial intelligence technology in the field of primary medical care. Design: A descriptive, cross-sectional study. Methods: A total of 449 clinical nurses from a Chinese county-level B-level hospital in Nantong City were selected from August to September 2025 by convenience sampling, and the general information questionnaire, the Attitude Scale for the Application of Artificial Intelligence Technology in Nursing, the Artificial Intelligence Literacy Scale and the Change Fatigue Scale were used to investigate the influencing factors. Results: The total score of clinical nurses' attitudes toward AI was 45.17 ± 2.38, indicating a moderate level. Multiple linear regression analysis identified age, participation in AI-related training, education level, number of monthly night shifts, change fatigue, and total AI literacy score as significant determinants of AI attitudes (all Conclusion: The attitude of Chinese county-level clinical nurses towards AI is at a moderate level and is influenced by multiple modifiable factors. To enhance AI acceptance and facilitate its integration into primary care, we recommend implementing targeted AI training programs, improving AI literacy, optimizing scheduling to reduce night shift burdens, and proactively managing change fatigue.
