1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Nursing education focuses on clinical skill development. This study evaluated the effectiveness of combined microlearning and spaced learning to improve final-semester nursing students' clinical competence. Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental study (2022-2023) at Lorestan University of Medical Sciences involved 48 final-semester nursing students (27 control, 21 intervention). The intervention group received a 3-month structured microlearning and spaced learning program using videos, workshops, texts, and podcasts. Clinical competence was assessed via Ministry of Health standardized forms, and data were analyzed using SPSS software. Results: Demographic characteristics in the two study groups were similar ( Conclusions: Microlearning and spaced learning significantly improved clinical competence, suggesting their effectiveness as innovative nursing education strategies.
