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: Cardiogenic shock is a life-threatening condition requiring early recognition and immediate intervention. Nurses, often the first responders in hospitals and communities, need adequate knowledge to manage such emergencies effectively. This study assessed the effectiveness of a self-instructional module (SIM) in improving nurses' knowledge about cardiogenic shock at a level-two teaching hospital in Rwanda. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was used involving 113 nurses. Structured multiple-choice questionnaires were administered before and after exposure to the SIM. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, x Results: The study revealed a significant improvement in post-test scores following the SIM intervention. The proportion of nurses with adequate knowledge increased from 10.6% to 60.2%, while those with inadequate or moderate knowledge dropped from 32.7% to 4.4% (x Conclusion: The SIM proved to be an effective educational tool for enhancing nurses' knowledge of cardiogenic shock. Its implementation can be a valuable strategy for improving clinical preparedness among nursing staff.
