Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
Introduction: Health education is an important part of nursing care. Verbal health education is a common practice in surgical wards, which is time-consuming and laborious. Thus, this study aims to evaluate whether multimedia health education reduces nurses' workload without compromising patient and family satisfaction in a surgical context. Methods: We conducted a parallel-group, prospective randomized controlled trial at the Hepatobiliary Surgery Institute of Lanzhou University's First Hospital between July 2019 and May 2022. Eligible patients (≥18 years) with general surgical conditions and acceptable for surgery were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive a multi-media health education group or a standard health education group. Randomization was performed by an independent statistician using a computer-generated randomization list. The nurses' workload and satisfaction were the main outcomes; the anxiety level of patients and the variables affecting nurse workload were the secondary outcomes. Results: A total of 184 eligible participants were randomly assigned to receive multimedia health education and standard health education. The results showed that multimedia health education can shorten the time [15.21 (0.63)vs.16.94 (3.96)] nurses spend on health education during patient admissions, the difference being statistically significant ( Conclusion: Multi-media health education could reduce nurses' workload and enhance patient satisfaction but not increase complications.
