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.

resultsThe mean age of participants was 22.65 ± 2.43 years (range: 19-30 years), with most being female and single. The mean total attitude score towards caring for dying patients significantly increased from 106.05 ± 9.41 pre-intervention to 112.29 ± 8.83 post-intervention (
