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
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of vaccine education on vaccine attitudes and knowledge among nursing students.
methodThis research, designed as a quasi-experimental study, was conducted with 68 participants. Vaccine education was delivered in three sessions at one-week intervals. Data were collected using the Personal Characteristics Scale, the Public Attitudes Toward Vaccination Scale Health Belief Model, and the Vaccine Knowledge Test. Data analysis included frequency, percentage, paired t-tests, and effect size (d) to assess differences between means.
resultsAmong the participants, 65.2% were female, 14.5% reported difficulties in accessing healthcare services, and only 8.7% followed official websites for vaccine-related information. The study found that vaccine-related knowledge significantly increased after the intervention, with a large effect size (d: 1.755). Vaccine attitudes also showed moderate changes in effect size across various dimensions: perceived susceptibility (d: 0.666), perceived severity (d: 0.682), perceived benefits (d: 0.760), perceived barriers (d: 0.753), and health motivation (d: 0.395). Additionally, the proportion of participants expressing trust in vaccines increased after the educational sessions.
conclusionThe findings suggest that vaccine education can contribute to improving vaccine attitudes and knowledge among nursing students. Considering the critical role of nursing students as future stakeholders in healthcare delivery, planning and increasing interventions aimed at enhancing their vaccine attitudes and knowledge is essential.
