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: The implementation of "Internet + Nursing Service" in economically underdeveloped and culturally diverse regions, such as Yunnan Province, China, presents particular challenges, although it has emerged as a crucial solution to address global aging concerns. Aim: In addition to qualitatively examining the viewpoints of patients and families as service recipients, this study aimed to understand how specialized nurses perceived and felt about the "Internet + Nursing Service." Methods: From 1 January to 30 June 2024, a convergent mixed-methods study was carried out. In Yunnan Province, China, a total of 1,200 specialist nurses participated in a cross-sectional survey. Twelve participants-five patients and seven family caregivers-who had used an online nursing service participated in semi-structured interviews at the same time. Multiple linear regression, univariate analysis, and descriptive statistics were used to analyze quantitative data. Thematic analysis was used to examine qualitative data. The quantitative results were explained, contextualized, and elaborated upon using the qualitative themes. Results: The attitude of specialist nurses toward "Internet + Nursing Service" was good (mean 3.90 ± 0.69), but their perception was only moderate (mean 3.31 ± 0.64). Nurses' perception scores were substantially correlated with employment position, educational level, institutional implementation, and individual participation (all Conclusion: Despite the positive perceptions of "Internet + Nursing Service" held by both service recipients and specialist nurses, there remains a substantial knowledge gap. Along with unresolved safety concerns and budgetary barriers, this gap is a significant lever for intervention. Hospital administrators and policymakers should prioritize targeted awareness campaigns that elucidate the unique nature of the service, alongside structural improvements intended to enhance safety protocols and expand insurance coverage.
