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
backgroundEnhancing the quality of clinical education in midwifery is crucial for the growth and development of competent students. A mentorship program offers a pathway for midwifery students to improve clinical skills, enhance abilities, and acquire greater clinical competencies. This study aimed to determine the impact of implementing a mentorship program on the clinical competency of midwifery students. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis randomized controlled trial was conducted from December 2022 to October 2023 among final-year bachelor midwifery students at Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Iran. Twenty-eight midwifery students were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (
resultsThe results of the study showed a significant difference in student satisfaction scores at level 1 (reaction), clinical competency in the knowledge dimension at level 2 (learning), clinical competency in the performance dimension at level 3 (behavior change), and institutional impacts of the mentorship program at level 4 of Kirkpatrick's evaluation model (
conclusionThe findings of this study strongly support the implementation of mentorship programs with a focus on innovative teaching approaches as a critical strategy for improving the clinical skills of midwifery students.
