Curriculum/program development in nursing education: a systematic review.
Article in BMC nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.

A total of 21 studies that met the inclusion criteria constituted the sample. Data analysis was carried out in accordance with the data summary form prepared by the researchers.
resultsIn this study, the findings related to the research questions are given under four headings. These titles are the research designs used in the studies, whether they were conducted in line with the stages of curriculum development, whether they were based on curriculum development models, and which fields and subjects they were conducted on. The majority of the studies conducted in the field of curriculum development are aimed at reviewing the literature and determining the current situation, which is the first step of curriculum development.
