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
backgroundBraden scale is one of the most effective tools used to perform an accurate skin assessment among critically ill patients. AIM OF THE STUDY: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of self learning package on nurses' performance regarding use of Braden scale for predicting pressure ulcers among critically ill patients.
designA Quasi-experimental (Pretest-Posttest) design was utilized.
settingThe study was conducted at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at El Fayoum University Hospital. SUBJECTS: A convenient sample of all available nurses (60) working in previously mentioned setting. DATA COLLECTION TOOLS: Data were obtained through three main tools; Tool (I): Structured nurses' assessment tool, Tool (II): Observational questionnaire for nurses' practice and Tool (III): Nurses' attitude questionnaire. Reliability was confirmed with a Cronbach's alpha of (0.87), ensuring robust internal consistency, validity was assessed using Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO = 0.85) and Bartlett's test (p < 0.001).
resultsThere was a statistically significant difference of overall nurses' knowledge, practice and attitude between pre and post self learning package implementation (P = 0.000). There was significant statistical correlation between studied nurses' knowledge and their practice (r = 0.497, P = 0.000), between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.379, P = 0.001), also between nurses' attitude and their practice (r = 0.438, P = 0.000) after self-learning package implementation.
conclusionThis study concluded that the self-learning package regarding the use of Braden scale for predicting pressure ulcers among critically ill patients had a positive significant effect on nurses' knowledge, practice and attitude. RECOMMENDATIONS: Self-learning package regarding the use of Braden scale for predicting pressure ulcers among critically ill patients should be available and applied in all intensive care units to be followed by all nurses and should be updated periodically.
