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
In the 21st -century, it is vital to prepare university students with the required skills to pursue them for future career success. The research presents a framework of project-based learning (PBL) enriched by the industry to increase students' future readiness. The framework comprises collaboration with industry partners, solving real-world problems as projects, and interdisciplinary approaches intended to build specific critical skills like teamwork, problem-solving, and adaptability. The study investigates the impact of I-PBL methodologies and framework on higher education curricula to enhance the readiness of students for the future. The study focuses on two key parameters- (1) the percentage of the curriculum devoted to PBL and (2) the rate of industry engagement activities. The study examines how these educational methods prepare students for today's workforce challenges. The study bridges quantitative outcomes, revealing how I-PBL enriched with industry engagement significantly enhance STEM students' skills and readiness for the workforce. The quasi-experimental study quantitatively assessed the curriculum to determine the proportion of PBL at 40%, and the frequency of industry engagement activities averaged at five distinct interactions per academic session. The pre-and post- surveys assessed students' employability skills, while feedback and participation metrics measured their engagement and satisfaction. The findings reveal a significant improvement in student employability skills, with an average increase of 25% in self-reported competencies in job-related skills. Implementing the I-PBL significantly increased student engagement by 30% and satisfaction by 35%, demonstrating the approach's effectiveness. It is the first to bring industry-enriched PBL systematically into higher education. Based on these results, the endorsed new insights and enhancement strategies for student employability skills, as discussed in this book, will help bridge the gap between academic preparation and workforce demands. The study addresses the gap in current educational practices by presenting a detailed, empirically validated framework that educators and policymakers can implement to prepare students for the evolving demands of the workforce.
