Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundBlended learning (BL), the integration of online with face to face teaching, is established as a teaching method in higher education. Understanding the learner's readiness toward online component of BL is important in designing and delivering BL. Nursing students require proficiency in interpersonal relationship and social interaction apart from knowledge and skills. BL may provide an opportunity to acquire the professional skills better than the traditional face to face sessions. The objectives of this study were to identify the nursing student's readiness toward BL and perceptions about the online learning component of BL. MATERIALS AND
methodsFirst- and second-year entry level graduate nursing students of Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education, Chennai, India, were the participants of the study. This study used a mixed method approach. An online questionnaire, developed based on the literature and expert consensus, was used in the first phase. A focus group discussion (FGD) with ten random participants of the survey was conducted to understand the perceptions and readiness to adopt the online component of BL. The present study was conducted from December 2019 to January 2020. Survey results were analyzed through descriptively. Content analysis was carried to summarize FGD results.
resultsA total 158 students of entry level nursing graduate programme participated in the survey. 53.8% of felt BL will have positive effect on their learning and 70% of the respondents were ready to adopt BL. The FGD identified two themes: (I) Readiness to adopt online learning as a component of BL and (II) perceived barriers and challenges in adopting online contents.
conclusionEntry level nursing graduate students had a positive perception about the online components. Majority of them are confident in accessing the online contents. Willingness to learn through online, previous experience with online learning, and perceived advantages of online component might influence the learner's readiness. Availability of internet and absence of teachers were perceived as the barriers to online learning by the participants.
