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
Background: Ensuring standardized competencies in T-tube management is pivotal for optimizing recovery and minimizing postoperative morbidity. Despite its growing use in clinical training, the impact of structured video-based skill assessments on nursing practice has not been clearly defined. Methods: We conducted a retrospective comparative analysis at Xingtai People's Hospital, enrolling adult inpatients who underwent T-tube placement between January 2019 and December 2023. Participants were stratified according to whether their primary nurse had completed a formal video-based assessment of T-tube care. Primary endpoints were T-tube retention time distribution and length of postoperative hospital stay. Tube-related complications were analyzed as secondary/exploratory outcomes. Secondary endpoints included patient satisfaction, internal nursing quality indicators, and nurse-reported confidence. Intergroup comparisons were performed using independent-sample Results: Among 200 eligible patients, 80 were retrospectively classified into the video-based assessment (VBA) group and 120 into the traditional clinical assessment (TCA) group according to the credentialing status of the primary nurse responsible for T-tube care at the time care was delivered. The VBA group exhibited a more concentrated retention time distribution (42.1 ± 3.6 vs 44.8 ± 6.2 days; Conclusion: Implementation of structured video-based nursing assessments was associated with more standardized T-tube retention time, shorter hospitalization, a lower observed rate of local infection and enhanced patient-reported and nursing quality outcomes. Given the retrospective observational design and routine staffing-based (non-random) nurse assignment, these findings should be interpreted as associations rather than causal effects. Complication endpoints were infrequent, and safety-related differences require confirmation in larger prospective studies. Integrating video-based evaluation into routine nursing competency frameworks may represent a scalable quality-assurance strategy for postoperative T-tube management and warrants confirmation in prospective, preferably randomized or mixed-method, studies.
