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
backgroundVisual impairment affects over 2.2 billion people globally, with many cases preventable. In Saudi Arabia, refractive errors, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy are the leading causes. Bates therapy, a non-pharmacological approach involving eye exercises, has gained attention for managing visual strain. Given the growing interest, it is crucial for nursing students to be knowledgeable about such therapies. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention on Bates therapy knowledge among B.Sc. nursing students. MATERIAL AND
methodsA quasi-experimental one-group pre-test-post-test design was done. The total of 60, B.Sc. nursing students from level 10, were considered as a sample for the study. The sample was selected using a convenience sampling method. The study was done from September to November 2024. Data were collected through a structured 20-item multiple-choice questionnaire, covering Bates therapy's definitions, methods, and benefits. Pre-tests and post-tests were conducted before and after a 2-h interactive educational session. The intervention included PowerPoint presentations, group discussions, and live demonstrations. Statistical analysis was performed using a paired
resultsThe majority of participants were aged 21-22 years, with 71.7% having heard of Bates therapy. Post-intervention results showed a significant increase in knowledge scores, with a mean difference of -4.40 (SD = 3.22),
conclusionThe educational intervention significantly improved B.Sc. nursing students' knowledge of Bates therapy. This study underscores the importance of integrating alternative therapies like Bates therapy into nursing curricula, enhancing future nurses' ability to provide holistic, patient-centered care.
