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
backgroundMany newly graduated nurses struggle to transition into professional practice due to insufficient training. Nurse residency programs have been implemented in some countries to facilitate smoother role transitions for these nurses. An effective and standardized program must be developed to facilitate the use of support programs by new nurses. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to develop a 1-year competency-based nurse residency program, assess educational needs, and evaluate its effectiveness when applied to newly graduated nurses transitioning into the workforce.
methodsA competency-based nurse residency program was developed based on the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation of the instructional model. Program outcomes were assessed in accordance with the four-level Kirkpatrick model using standardized posttraining questionnaires, observational surveys, and a review of institutional data. All of the study data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
resultsThe developed 1-year competency-based nurse residency program covered four modules: introductory education, clinical preceptorship, core competency-building education, and mentoring. The outcomes revealed a high satisfaction with introductory education (4.67-4.90 out of 5) among the participants and a significant increase in participant knowledge, skills, and performance. Also, the nurse turnover rate decreased to <10% within 6 months after completing the program. and nursing errors decreased by 1.46 per 100 working days.
conclusionsA significant percentage of newly graduated nurses leave their jobs during the first several years of work because of difficulties experienced in transitioning into practice. A competency-based nurse residency program that includes emotional support and core competency strength programs was shown in this study to help newly graduated nurses transition smoothly into practice.
