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
The objective of this study is to evaluate changes in patient-centeredness attitudes, empathy, and emotional intelligence among nursing students trained with patients and caregivers as co-teachers. A mixed-methods embedded study was conducted. The quantitative strand consists of a quasi-experimental design, measuring third-year nursing students' scores before and after an educational intervention, compared with first- and second-year students' scores. Data were collected using three validated scales: the Patient-Practitioner Orientation Scale (PPOS-8-IT), Jefferson Scale of Empathy Health Professions Student (JSEHPS), and Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SREIT). The qualitative strand explored student perceptions through focus group post-intervention. Quantitative and qualitative data were initially analyzed separately, then triangulated during interpretation. Results showed statistically significant improvements in scale scores post-intervention (n = 146). Three themes emerged from the qualitative analysis, aligning with quantitative findings. Patient-centeredness attitudes among students increased significantly after the intervention (PPOS-8-IT mean difference = 0.26, p < 0.001). Mixed-methods analyses highlight the importance of a participatory approach to decision-making and sharing clinical information. Empathy (JSEHPS mean difference = 6.39, p < 0.001) and emotional intelligent (SREIT mean difference = 3.19, p < 0.001) also increased post-intervention. Understanding patients' emotional states and managing one's own emotions are integral to patient-centered practice, emphasizing the need for healthcare professionals to balance empathy with professional boundaries. Interestingly, our study found that outcomes increase over the three years of the course (n = 424). The analyses reveal that the difference among the three years is statistically significant both for the patient-centeredness attitudes (PPOS-8-IT H(2)=55.99, p < 0.001) and empathy (JSEHPS H(2)=37.78, p < 0.001).
