1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

An evaluation of the impact of mental health nursing competency on the academic and clinical competencies of Indian students. Competency-based education is proposed as a method to bridge the theory-practice gap in nursing. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate a structured Mental Health Nursing Clinical Competency Model's effect on undergraduate students' academic performance, clinical competency and self-perceived confidence. A quasi-experimental design was used with 98 third-years B.Sc. Nursing students in India, who participated in a 16-week intervention comprising theoretical integration and supervised clinical practicum phases. Outcome measures, including a validated competency checklist, theory exams and OSCE scores, showed significant improvements (p < .001) across all domains, with large effect sizes. Thus, data shows that phased model effectively enhances student outcomes and offers a replicable framework for competency-based mental health nursing education.
