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

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a mind mapping-integrated case-based learning (CBL) model using simulated clinical cases in nursing education. Methods: One hundred nursing undergraduates from a medical college were enrolled between January 2022 and January 2024. According to the teaching approach, students were assigned to either a control group receiving traditional lecture-based teaching or a research group receiving the mind mapping-integrated CBL model using simulated clinical cases ( Results: Following the intervention, students in the research group achieved significantly higher theoretical knowledge and practical nursing skill scores compared with those in the control group ( Conclusion: The mind mapping-integrated CBL model using simulated clinical cases can markedly enhance nursing students' theoretical mastery, clinical operational skills, and reflective thinking ability, while also improving satisfaction with the teaching process.
