Virtual Reality vs. High-Fidelity Mannequin-Based Simulation: A Pilot Randomized Trial Evaluating Learner Performance.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06956833 (Self-Guided Versus Facilitator-Guided Debriefing in Immersive Virtual Reality Simulation), which is not on this map. Cited by 24 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.

Abstract
Background Virtual Reality (VR) simulation has been found to be useful in learning technical and non-technical skills. However, empirical data about its efficacy in clinical education are limited. This pilot study compares the efficacy of VR to mannequin-based simulation for learners managing status epilepticus (SE). Methods Pediatric and emergency medicine interns at an academic tertiary care referral center were randomized to either VR (intervention, using an Oculus Rift
