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
Innovative thinking is important for professional development in nursing students. This study aimed to compare the innovation, curiosity, exploration, and critical thinking dispositions of nursing students who have and have not taken an innovative thinking course. The research was a descriptive type. The sample group consisting of 58 nursing students who met the established research criteria. Study data were collected with "The Introductory Information Form, the Individual Innovativeness Scale, the Curiosity and Exploration Inventory-II, and the Critical Thinking Disposition Scale." The rate of having innovative ideas, receiving training to create innovative ideas, and thinking that an innovative perspective is necessary for the nursing profession was higher in the group that took innovative thinking courses. A statistically significant difference was observed in the total score on the Curiosity and Exploration Scale II between students who had enrolled in the course and those who had not (p < 0.05). The study indicated that students who had completed courses on innovative thinking exhibited higher levels of curiosity and exploration.
