1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo test if two e-learning modules - one on cognitive impairment, and one on continence and mobility - in older people would improve the knowledge of nurse members from the Canadian Gerontological Nurses Association and College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta.

methodsA pre-post-test design was used to test 88 nurses' knowledge of cognitive impairment and 105 nurses' knowledge of continence and mobility and their perceptions of how the modules contributed to their learning.

resultsThere was a statistically significant increase in practicing nurses' knowledge about cognitive impairment (0.68 increase), continence (2.30 increase), and its relationship to mobility. Nurses' self-report on the feedback survey demonstrated increases in knowledge, confidence, and perceptions about older people.

conclusionThese results suggest the modules have strong potential to enhance practicing nurses' knowledge about cognitive impairment, continence, and mobility.
