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
backgroundEffective communication is critical for ensuring patient safety, enhancing outcomes, and reducing healthcare costs. Recognizing that communication skills are influenced by both inherent ability and structured training, a communication skills workshop was conducted to evaluate its effectiveness in enhancing nurses' knowledge and communication competencies and to gather insights for future improvements. MATERIALS AND
methodsAn interventional pre-post single-arm study was conducted in February 2019 at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. A convenience sampling technique was used, enrolling 140 nurses from various departments. A hybrid teaching-learning approach consisting of four modules-overcoming communication barriers, empathy and compassion in patient care, breaking bad news, and communication's role in patient safety-was employed. Effectiveness was assessed through pre- and post-training tests and structured feedback forms. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, paired
resultsThere was a significant improvement in nurses' communication knowledge and skills from pre-test (mean = 13.217 ± 2.91) to post-test (mean = 15.065 ± 2.87;
conclusionThe communication workshop was effective in enhancing the knowledge and information of the participating nurses. Based on these findings, it is proposed to integrate regular, interactive, and extended training sessions into the continuing education programs for nurses. These modifications are expected to further improve communication practices and ultimately enhance patient care outcomes.
