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: The importance of retaining content in the long-term memory of medical students is well-documented. Given the narrative structure of medical disciplines, digital storytelling is an effective educational tool. This study investigates the effect of digital storytelling on the learning and satisfaction of nursing and midwifery students. Methods: This quasi-experimental study included 20 third-semester midwifery students (intervention group, digital storytelling) and 50 first-semester nursing students (control group, traditional lectures), all enrolled in an undergraduate psychology course. Both groups participated in five initial lecture-based sessions. Thereafter, the intervention group received six weekly digital storytelling sessions, each featuring a 3-8 minute narrative followed by instructor-led discussions, while the control group continued with standard lectures and question-and-answer sessions. Learning outcomes were measured using pre- and post-tests, and student satisfaction was assessed using a validated questionnaire. Statistical analyses were performed, adjusting for baseline scores and demographic confounders. Results: The digital storytelling group showed significantly higher post-test scores in learning outcomes (75.21±17.75 vs. 54.97±23.40, p=0.001) and satisfaction (38.15±6.45 vs. 31.22±4.59, p=0.0003) compared to the traditional lecture group. The potential effect of baseline values, as well as non-homogeneous demographic variables across groups, was removed using non-parametric ANCOVA. The result confirmed that gender had no confounding effects on either learning outcomes or satisfaction. Additionally, the differences between the two groups in terms of learning and satisfaction remained significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: Digital storytelling offers a meaningful and learner-centered approach that extends beyond content delivery. By fostering active engagement and deeper cognitive involvement, it transforms traditional instruction into a more personalized and reflective learning experience. This approach is recommended in healthcare education to improve instructional effectiveness and student satisfaction.
