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
Background: Augmented reality (AR) has a wide range of potential applications to enhance health care. Understanding how the introduction of a new technology may impact employees is essential for overall health care system success. Methods: Survey responses were obtained before and after a health care-focused interactive AR demonstration at a US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical center. Data were assessed with descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon signed rank matched pairs test, pooled Results: A total of 166 individuals participated in the demonstration and survey. Statistically significant improvements were seen after the use of the new AR technology in each of the categories assessed using a 5-point Likert scale. Scores for perceptions of institutional innovativeness increased from 3.4 to 4.5 (a 22% increase; Conclusions: An AR demonstration significantly increased employee excitement and intention to continue employment at the VA and provided valuable insights about the most impactful uses of AR in health care.
