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: Clinical Evaluation Programs (CEPs) are a fundamental component of nursing education because they facilitate the structured assessment of students' clinical competence in conjunction with theoretical instruction. The effectiveness of these programs is dependent on clarity, consistency, and acceptability by stakeholders. Aim: This study aimed to examine the perceptions of nursing students and clinical instructors regarding CEPs in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, along with the demographic factors associated with these perceptions. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted involving 303 undergraduate nursing students and 61 clinical instructors. The data were collected using a validated questionnaire. Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were performed to examine group differences, followed by regression analysis to assess the associations between demographic variables and CEP perception scores. Results: Overall, perceptions of CEPs were moderate, with mean scores close to the midpoint of the 5-point Likert scale for both students ( Conclusion: Although CEPs are regarded as essential elements of clinical education, improvements in clarity, feedback processes, and standardization are required to enhance their effectiveness and educational impact.
