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

Background and Aims: Moral courage is vital in nursing, enabling professionals to make ethical decisions and uphold values, even in challenging situations. Nursing students often struggle with moral decision-making due to limited experience and insufficient ethical training. This study proposes a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the effectiveness of scenario-based ethics training compared to traditional methods in improving professional moral courage among nursing students. Methods and Analysis: This RCT involved a 3-month scenario-based ethics training program delivered under faculty supervision, targeting sixth-semester undergraduate nursing students. Participants ( Conclusion: This protocol outlines a trial to evaluate the impact of scenario-based training on enhancing nursing students' professional moral courage and improving ethics education in clinical settings. Trial Registration: Iranian Clinical Trials Registry: IRCT20240319061338N1.
