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
backgroundNursing care for patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) is a crucial step in reducing complications and promoting recovery. Infection control procedures are vital tools for preventing most complications. Proper nursing education and training for managing these patients can provide sufficient protection against urinary tract infections and related issues, such as secondary hemorrhage and hospital readmission.
aimTo evaluate nurses' performance after receiving nursing instructions regarding the infection control measures for patients with PNL.
methodsA quasi-experimental research design (pretest-posttest) was employed. The study was conducted at Assiut University Urology Hospital, Assiut University, Egypt. The participant nurses worked in units providing healthcare for patients who underwent PNL and received focused nursing instructions on infection control measures. The tools used included a structured questionnaire assessing their knowledge of PNL healthcare and a nurses' practice observation checklist. The researchers completed these tools before and after the nurses received focused education on infection control measures. The focused education was provided through an illustrated booklet. The local ethics committee approved this study.
resultsThis study comprised 30 nurses, including 19 females (63.3%). Of these, 46.7% were in the 20-25 age group, 90% had a high educational level, and 50% had less than 5 years of work experience. Significant differences were observed between pre- and post-test scores in overall performance (
conclusionThe nurses' performance improved significantly after receiving focused nursing instructions on infection control measures for patients with PNL. Nurses should participate in ongoing training programs on infection control procedures.
