Effectiveness of Virtual Reality on the Caregiving Competence and Empathy of Caregivers for Elderly with Chronic Diseases: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of nursing management, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Aims: To synthesize evidence on the effectiveness of virtual reality-based training of caregivers for the elderly with chronic diseases. Background: With a growing number of elderly suffering from chronic diseases, caregivers who lack the necessary caregiving skills and competence need practical training. Nowadays, virtual reality in training is a promising approach due to technological advancements. Conclusions: Findings of our meta-analysis demonstrated that virtual reality could have merits for improving the caregiving competence of caregivers taking care of the elderly with chronic diseases.
