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
Objectives: This study evaluated the effects of multimodal health education combined with preoperative ocular fixation training on patients undergoing pterygium surgery. Methods: A cohort of 88 patients who underwent pterygium surgery at Xining First People's Hospital from April 2025 to September 2025 were selected and randomly assigned to a control group (n=44) and an intervention group (n=44) using a random number table. The control group received routine high-quality nursing, and the intervention group received multimodal health education and preoperative ocular fixation training in addition to routine care. Disease uncertainty, psychological stress scores, and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Results: Following the intervention, patients in the intervention group had significantly lower Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale (MUIS) scores compared with the control group (p<0.05). Psychological resilience scores were significantly higher in the intervention group (p<0.05). The incidence rates of eye pain (11.36 %), infection (0), and dry eye (0) in the intervention group were lower than those observed in the control group (79.55 , 13.64, and 15.91 %, respectively) (p<0.05). Conclusions: Multimodal health education combined with preoperative ocular fixation training markedly reduced psychological stress and illness uncertainty in patients undergoing pterygium surgery and was associated with lower postoperative complication rates.
