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
Contemporary orthopedic education faces reduced clinical exposure, increasing procedural complexity, and growing emphasis on patient safety. Simulation-based learning (SBL) offers a structured alternative to traditional apprenticeship models, enabling deliberate practice and competency-based assessment. This study evaluated the educational impact of a structured, hands-on, simulation-based orthopedic workshop on the development of technical and non-technical competencies among medical students. We conducted a prospective pre-post interventional study including 70 medical students across all 6 years of training. Participants completed pre- and post-intervention assessments evaluating self-confidence in musculoskeletal trauma management, perceived technical skills, non-technical competencies (communication, teamwork, situational awareness), motivation toward orthopedics, and theoretical knowledge through a 10-item multiple-choice questionnaire. Statistical analysis employed non-parametric testing (Wilcoxon signed-rank, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis). Effect sizes were calculated using r = Z/√N, with values > 0.5 indicating large effects. Internal reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha. Significant improvements were observed across all evaluated domains (all
