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
aimThis study was conducted to determine nursing students' rational use of medicines.
methodThe population of this descriptive study was composed of 1177 students who were studying at a faculty of nursing in Istanbul. The study sample, on the other hand, consisted of 303 students who were selected from the population by the "stratified random sampling" method, a probabilistic sampling method. The sample size was calculated using the Minitab software. Data were collected with data collection form between February and March 2016. In data analysis, percentage, median, Pearson Chi-square and Fisher's Exact test was used.
resultsIt was found that the average age of the participating nursing students was 20.25±1.71, 85.5% of the participants were female, 98.7% were single, 66.3% graduated from Anatolian High School and 29.4% of them were in their third year of study. Also, 11.6% of the participants used medicines continuously, 16.2% used medicines frequently, the most frequent reason for using medicines (69%) was pain, 93.7% read the prospectus of the medicines they used, 70.6% took their medicines on time, 86.8% were careful about using their medicines before or after meals, 78.5% did not change doses of medicines themselves, 63% stopped using medicines when symptoms of disease were over, 62% did not always take medicines with prescription, and 97.3% used pain relievers most without a prescription. In addition, there were significant differences between the participants' gender and reading the prospectus before using medicines, between having a chronic disease and continuous and frequent use of medicines, and between alcohol consumption and frequent use of medicines (p<0.05).
conclusionThe nursing students in our study were found to have inadequacies in some issues related to rational use of medicines (e.g. taking medicines with a prescription, using medicines on time and not changing medicine doses without physician's suggestions). In this context, it is advisable to develop guidance and counseling programs for the development of rational drug use behaviors of nursing students and to include this subject in detail in nursing undergraduate education course curricula.
