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: Learning engagement is a critical predictor of core professional competencies in nursing, yet its influencing factors remain unclear. This study examined the mediating roles of achievement motivation and flow in the relationship between online learning self-efficacy and learning engagement among registered nurses (RNs). Methods: A cross-sectional electronic survey was conducted among 657 RNs from two general hospitals in Sichuan Province, China, between March and May 2024. Participants completed validated instruments, including the Adult Online Learning Self-Efficacy Scale, Achievement Motives Scale (AMS), Educational Flow Scale (EduFlow-2), and Learning Engagement Scale. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and mediation analysis were conducted using SPSS v29.0. Structural equation modeling was performed using AMOS v24.0. Results: The average learning engagement score was 61.55 ± 11.07. Online learning self-efficacy ( Discussion: Online learning self-efficacy influences RN learning engagement both directly and indirectly, with mediation effects exerted through achievement motivation and flow. These findings highlight the importance of fostering self-efficacy and motivational processes to enhance engagement in online nursing education.
