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

Nursing documentation is critical for ensuring quality patient care and effective communication among healthcare professionals. However, in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), documentation practices often fall short due to resource limitations and cultural barriers. This mixed-methods study evaluated a culturally adapted roleplay- based intervention to improve nursing documentation quality among Indonesian nurses. Guided by Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory, this intervention focused on experiential, reflective, and technology-enhanced components to enhance nursing documentation practices. Using a quasi-experimental design, 132 nurses from three public hospitals in Jakarta were assigned to either the treatment or control group. The intervention integrated conventional roleplay, digital simulation, and reflective practice. Quantitative data were collected at baseline, post-intervention, and at a 12-week follow-up, measuring documentation quality, self-efficacy, and cognitive load. Additionally, qualitative data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with 15 experimental group participants. Results showed significant improvements in documentation quality (Cohen's d = 1.28 at T1; d = 1.14 at T2), self-efficacy (d = 0.99 at T1; d = 0.85 at T2), and reductions in cognitive load (d = -0.84 at T1; d = -0.72 at T2), indicating significant and sustained improvements at the 12-week follow-up. Qualitative findings highlighted increased confidence, realism of the scenarios, integration of digital skills, and cultural considerations in documentation practices. Participants' hierarchical structure orientation moderated the effectiveness of the intervention. In conclusion, this study provides evidence that hybrid roleplay interventions can enhance nursing documentation practices in low- and middle-income countries, with a focus on culturally tailored healthcare education.
