Assessing nurses' digital competence for public health systems: validation of a brief instrument and factors associated with competence.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Background: Nurses' digital competence and e-health literacy are essential for safe use of electronic health records and other clinical information technologies, yet validated measures and context-specific evidence remain limited. This study evaluated the Polish adaptation of the Digital Competence Questionnaire for Nurses and examined correlates of nurses' perceived digital competence in Poland. Methods: A national cross-sectional computer-assisted web interviewing survey was conducted among practicing nurses ( Results: Exploratory analyses indicated one dominant factor; a two-factor benchmark showed limited separability. Confirmatory analysis supported a predominantly unidimensional solution with good approximate fit for the one-factor model (CFI = 0.992; RMSEA = 0.046; SRMR = 0.047); the two-factor benchmark improved fit modestly but the factors were highly correlated ( Conclusion: The Polish adaptation of the Digital Competence Questionnaire for Nurses supports use of a concise total score. Digital competence in nurses was most consistently linked to e-health literacy and everyday internet engagement, suggesting that workforce development should combine operational training with skills in information appraisal and safe use of digital resources.
