An example of evaluation of tuning nursing competences in the licensure exam: An observational study.
Article in Heliyon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Introduction The licensure exam in nursing has always focused on the curricula used in universities. 'Tuning' was the first project that sought to harmonize training purposes regarding competences and learning outcomes in Europe. The Tuning educational structures have been offered in various disciplines, including nursing with the development of the Tuning Nursing Project. The study describes which of 47 Tuning Nursing Competences were evaluated during the licensure exam in nursing degree courses, and what types of trials were used for their assessment. Methods A multicentric observational study was conducted in 4 universities in Italy. Data were collected in academic years 2017-2019, using two grids: one for cognitive and one for psychomotor tests. Results The Tuning competences were requested 7522 times. The most frequently demanded were those associated with domain number two, "Nursing practice and clinical decision making". The level of performance most required in cognitive tests was the autonomy of judgement, and both tests concerned the fields of non-communicable diseases and the hospitalized adult patient. Conclusions The competences most often assessed coincided with those deemed core for the first cycle of studies at the European level. Unfortunately, it has been detected a high degree of discrepancy in the types of tests used in different schools.
