Current State of Physical Assessment Education for Newborn and Infant Visits in Public Health Nursing Schools in Japan: A Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study.

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
objectivePhysical assessment by public health nurses is vital for childhood health, but its education remains unclear. This study examines the structure, process, and outcomes of physical assessment education for newborn and infant home visits in public health nursing schools.
designNationwide cross-sectional study. SAMPLE: Of the 280 public health nursing schools in Japan, 85 were analyzed. MEASUREMENTS: Survey based on Donabedian's model: structure (e.g., program type), process (e.g., practice-oriented education score), and outcome (e.g., proportion of graduates who achieved the graduation goal). Descriptive statistics and regression analysis were conducted.
resultsAlthough 69.4% of schools rated physical assessment education as "very important," graduation goals varied substantially: 11.8% targeted "Does independently with minimal guidance," 32.9% "Does under supervision," 50.6% "Shows," and 4.7% "Knows." Practice-oriented education scores ranged widely across schools (9-80). Higher graduation goal levels were significantly associated with greater practice-oriented education (B = 5.669, p = 0.024). Greater practice-oriented education was positively associated with higher proportions of graduates achieving graduation goals (B = 0.029, p = 0.042).
conclusionsSubstantial variability exists in the structure and delivery of physical assessment education for newborn and infant home visits. Strengthening practice-oriented, competency-based education may support more consistent competency development in foundational education.
