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
objectiveThis study investigated the effect of an escape room game on oncology nursing course students academic self-efficacy and motivation for critical thinking.
methodsThis study adopted a one-group pretest-posttest experimental research design. The sample consisted of forty-two nursing students. Data were collected using a personal information form, the Academic Nurses' Self- Efficacy Scale, and the Critical Thinking Motivational Scale. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, Pearson-Spearman, Wilcoxon test.
resultsNone of the nursing students had played an escape room game for educational purposes before (100%; n = 42). The escape room game helped nursing students develop academic self-efficacy and boosted their motivation for thinking critically respectively (t = -3.252, p = 0.002; Z = -2.027, p = 0.043). More than 90% of the students reported that the escape room game helped them understand the subject, retain information, and apply it effectively.
conclusionUniversities should incorporate escape room games within the scope of oncology nursing courses as an alternative teaching approach to help students enhance their academic self-efficacy and critical thinking motivation. Researchers should plan studies with different samples to investigate the impact of escape room games on academic self-efficacy and critical thinking motivation.
