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

Educational escape rooms (EERs) are gamified teaching and learning tools increasingly used in nursing education. This study aims to compare undergraduate nursing students' gameful experiences (GEs) across three EER models: face-to-face, hybrid, and online. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 136 first-year students in a Serbian undergraduate nursing programme. All models EERs had the same narrative, which included several topics from the Fundamentals of Nursing course. Face-to-face and hybrid EERs were implemented in faculty skills laboratories, while the online model used the Zoom® platform. Face-to-face EERs were conducted in 2021/2022. and hybrid and online in the 2022/2023 school year. Immediately after the EER activity, the Gameful Experience Scale (GAMEX) assessed students' GE across six dimensions (Enjoyment, Absorption, Creative Thinking, Activation, Absence of Negative Effects and Dominance). All students solved the puzzles in the allotted time and 'escaped from the room.' Median escape time from face-to-face EER was 39.2 (IQR = 2.1), from online 37.4 (IQR = 4.1), and hybrid 37.2 (IQR = 3.5) minutes. By comparing GE students in three EER models, significant differences were found in five dimensions of the GAMEX scale. Students in face-to-face EER enjoyed significantly more (
