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

Introduction Effective communication is essential in healthcare, directly influencing patient safety, clinical outcomes, and team collaboration. Yet, traditional training approaches often fall short in delivering the practical skills required for high-pressure clinical environments. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a one-day adventure-based experiential learning (AEL) program in enhancing communication competence among healthcare professionals. Methods A quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital with 500 healthcare professionals. The study was conducted at a private tertiary care teaching hospital in Chennai, India, over three months from May to July 2024.
