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
Introduction: Nursing college education aims to provide students with professional competence in nursing care practices (e.g., critical thinking, problem-solving, and clinical evaluation knowledge). The practice readiness of nursing college graduates is crucial for new nurses' successful role transition. Objective: To determine the practice readiness of nursing college graduates in Korea and explore related factors. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted using convenience sampling. Participants were newly licensed nurses who graduated from 10 nursing colleges in South Korea in 2023 and had not yet begun clinical practice. Inclusion criteria were: age 20-30 years, possession of a nursing license, and informed consent to participate. Individuals with psychiatric histories or clinical work experience were excluded. The required sample size was calculated as 172; 178 participants were included. Study instruments included the Tromsø Social Intelligence Scale, the Korean Undergraduate Clinical Education Environment Measure, and the Korean version of the Readiness for Practice Survey. Results: The overall mean score for practice readiness was 2.81 ± 0.37. Among subfactors, professional identity scored highest (2.96 ± 0.47), while trials and tribulations scored lowest (2.61 ± 0.45). Social intelligence ( Conclusion: Enhancing social intelligence and satisfaction with simulation and overall educational experiences are key to improving graduates' readiness for clinical practice. Investing in high-quality clinical environments and simulation programs may foster smoother transitions to professional nursing roles. These findings highlight the need for curriculum and policy initiatives that support individual development and systemic improvements in nursing education.
