Effectiveness of a gamified educational intervention on hand hygiene among Nursing professionals: a quasi-experimental study.
Article in Revista latino-americana de enfermagem, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveto assess the effectiveness of a gamified educational intervention on proper execution of the hand hygiene technique among nurses and nursing technicians in hospitalization units.
methodthis quasi-experimental study of the before-and-after type was conducted with 45 Nursing professionals. The data were collected by means of a structured form to observe the technique before and after the intervention. The statistical data analysis was performed using Wilcoxon's Signed-Rank test and the McNemar test.
resultsin the pre-intervention period, 61.3% of the technicians and 42.9% of the nurses failed to follow all the technique steps; after the gamification, 100% of the nurses and 97.7% of the nursing technicians did implement the right steps (p<0.001) and forgot fewer stages (z=-4.532, p<0.001, r=0.81). The time to perform the technique was also adequate after the intervention, following the recommendations set forth by the World Health Organization (z=-2.441, p=0.015, r=0.36).
conclusionthe gamified educational intervention was effective in proper execution of the hand hygiene technique among nurses and nursing technicians, reducing errors and increasing compliance with the international guidelines.
