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
Background: A common challenge in health education for older surgical patients is poor memory, which hinders the processing of health information. Structured educational materials have been shown to be effective in improving information retention, but there remains a paucity of materials specifically designed to address the cognitive and sensory characteristics of older adults. Objective: To evaluate the effect of an adapted education booklet based on cognitive load theory and older adults' preferences on the memory of health information in older surgical adults experiencing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted at a tertiary hospital from January to February 2025. Sixty-four older adults scheduled for BPH surgery were randomly divided into an intervention group (n=32, using an adapted education booklet) and a control group (n=32, using conventional education materials). Both groups received standard perioperative education. Health information recall was evaluated using a standardized questionnaire on the day before discharge. Secondary outcomes included satisfaction with nursing care and the nurse's support for the booklet. Results: There were no differences between the two groups in terms of age, body mass index, educational attainment, monthly personal income, and length of hospital stay. Adults in the intervention group demonstrated superior recall of health information and nursing satisfaction compared to the control group (P < 0.001). Over 85% of nurses believed that the booklet did not increase their workload, improved nurse-adult communication, and expressed support for its clinical application. Conclusion: Adapting an education booklet based on cognitive load theory and older adult preferences can significantly improve health information recall and satisfaction among older adults experiencing BPH. High acceptance among nurses suggests that this intervention has potential for clinical application. This simple, easy-to-administer, and inexpensive method of patient education could be extended to other areas of geriatric surgical education.
