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: Safe perioperative nursing care is crucial to improving outcomes of surgical care. This is a report on the pilot implementation of a nursing training programme aimed at strengthening safe perioperative nursing care in Nigeria, aligning with the nation's strategic framework for surgical, obstetric, anaesthesia, and nursing plan. The aim of this report is to highlight the need to incorporate perioperative nursing training into efforts to scale up access to surgical care in low resource settings. Methods: The Nursing Care Saves Lives (NCSL) training programme which was designed for training in perioperative nursing of cleft lip and palate patients, was adapted for perioperative nursing training. A 5-day intensive training was deployed, involving lectures, hands-on activities, simulations, and group problem-solving exercises. Pre- and post-training surveys were administered, and participant feedback and 3-months follow-up assessments obtained. The data has been analysed using descriptive statistics. Results: Twenty-six participants who were nurses involved in perioperative care, from both public and private hospitals, completed the training. Pre-training evaluation scores ranged from 23 to 72% (median 68%), increasing significantly to 61-98% (median 76%) post-training ( Conclusion: The NCSL training programme has the potential for promoting and strengthening safe perioperative nursing care. Strategic efforts are needed to scale up and expand access to this training within the wider perioperative nursing community, to enhance patient safety and surgical outcomes in the setting.
