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
backgroundUnderstanding the expectations of new generations of students entering higher education can be challenging. Generation Z have been brought up in a digital world, keeping them focused and entertained. Education must respond to the changing student profiles. Consideration should be given to integrating a hyper-cognitive approach to meet the expectations of students and fuel a positive learning experience for all evolving generations.
aimTo determine student nurses' satisfaction of escape rooms to facilitate learning of professional values; teamwork, decision making and sharing information.
methodQuantitative cross-sectional questionnaire to capture participants' satisfaction following their participation in the escape room activity. FRAMEWORK: The pedagogical benefits of escape rooms were explored as a teaching strategy for the evolving generation of students entering nurse education. The premise being,offering influential 'games' which nurture and encourage active collaboration among students would help to form peer connections and create relationships among new students entering nurse education. Escape rooms are coactive and can drive interdependence among participants sharing a goal by creating an environment for team working in nursing education.
resultsOf the 45 student nurses 100% (n=45) felt part of a team, 98% (n=44) had a positive experience, and only 2% (n=1) thought that the experience was stressful.
conclusionUsing escape rooms as a teaching and learning tool is an innovative pedagogical approach, offering a dynamic, hands-on experience that engages students through problem-solving and teamwork. Student nurses gave positive responses to teamwork, decision making, sharing information and enjoyment of the activity. This research will inform the development and uptake of core competencies for future nurses, creating teamwork and professionalism within a collaborative live educational environment.
