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
Objective: To evaluate an educational intervention to promote confidence, knowledge, and skills in tracheostomy tube change among nursing students. Methods: The study, conducted at the at the Johns Hopkins Center for Immersive Learning and Digital Innovation, enrolled nursing students without prior experience in tracheostomy tube change. The intervention included a pre-recorded presentation, faculty demonstrations with a Tracheostomy Care Training Simulation Model, and participant practice demonstrating skills. Primary outcomes included confidence, knowledge, and competency with tracheostomy tube changes. Secondary outcomes included number of attempts required to achieve competency and time required per attempt. The study followed STROBE guidelines with repeated measure design. Results: Participants in the study (n=50) had a mean age of 30 years, were predominantly female (83%) with a bachelor's degree (76%), most often in the third semester of nursing school (45%). Participants showed a mean improvement of 3.58 points out of five (SD: 0.56, P<0.001) across 11 pre- and post-test items. Every confidence assessment improved, with the largest increase in assessing tube placement. Knowledge assessments improved across all eight test items in the first test-retest interval, showing an improvement of 1.14 points out of five (SD: 0.89, P<0.001). Competency assessment improved in the first test-retest interval of 1.01 points out of five (SD: 0.65, P<0.001). On serial assessments, time to complete tracheostomy tube change decreased from 2.39 to 0.60 minutes. Faculty deemed 95% of participants competent after only one skill testing iteration. Conclusion: An educational intervention, combining digital presentations with interactive faculty-led simulations and practical skill assessments, successfully elevated nursing students' confidence, knowledge, and competency in tracheostomy tube changes.
