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
objectiveTo explore the role of narrative medicine-based education in standardized empathy training for residents.
methodsAmong the 2018-2020 residents at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University, 230 receiving neurology training were enrolled in this study and randomly divided into study and control groups. The study group received narrative medicine-based education and standardized routine resident training. The Jefferson Scale of Empathy-Medical Student version (JSE-MS) was used to evaluate empathy in the study group, and the neurological professional knowledge test scores of the two groups were also compared.
resultsIn the study group, the empathy score was higher than the preteaching score (P < 0.01). The neurological professional knowledge examination score was higher in the study group than in the control group, albeit not significantly.
conclusionThe addition of narrative medicine-based education in standardized training improved empathy and may have improved the professional knowledge of neurology residents.
