Outcomes of Simulation-Based Education for Vascular Access: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Simulation training is key to developing skills for vascular access. However, the efficacy of simulation-based education remains unclear. We conducted a well-designed and updated systematic review to investigate the efficacy of these programs. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were researched using the following databases from inception until July 26, 2020: MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), ClinicalTrials.gov, and International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP). RCTs included patients undergoing insertion of central venous catheters (CVCs), peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs), and radial arterial catheters. We compared the group that received simulation training with the group that received traditional training. We also assessed the success rate, adverse events, and first-attempt success using a random-effects meta-analysis. The protocol was registered at Protocols.io (dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.biu6keze). Seven RCTs (n=866) were evaluated. The meta-analysis showed that simulation-based education increased the overall success rate compared with traditional education (risk ratio: 1.08, 95% CI: 1.03 to 1.13; six RCTs; 840 participants; I
