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 transformation of healthcare services and the increasing demand for clinically competent nurses have posed new challenges for higher vocational nursing education. The course Fundamental Nursing Skills plays a pivotal role in cultivating students' practical abilities; however, traditional teaching approaches often fail to effectively integrate theory with practice. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a competency-based teaching reform implemented in the Fundamental Nursing Skills course within a higher vocational nursing program. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was adopted. Seventy-five nursing students were assigned to either an experimental group (reformed teaching model, Results: The experimental group achieved significantly higher theoretical knowledge scores (82.5 ± 6.4 vs. 76.2 ± 7.0, Conclusion: The competency-based, simulation-enhanced, and blended teaching model effectively improved learning outcomes and student engagement in the Fundamental Nursing Skills course. This reform model is feasible and has strong potential for wider application in higher vocational nursing education.
