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
Objectives: Patient safety incidents remain an important healthcare concern, and patient safety education is essential for preparing nursing students to recognize and prevent preventable errors in clinical settings. Room of errors simulation is a low-cost and practical educational strategy that can help students identify and respond to patient safety hazards in a realistic environment. This study aimed to develop and implement a room of errors simulation for nursing students preparing for clinical practice and to evaluate its effects on patient safety knowledge, attitudes, and performance confidence. Methods: This quasi-experimental study used a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design. Participants were 66 nursing students from three nursing colleges in South Korea. Patient safety knowledge was measured using Park and Park's instrument, and patient safety attitudes and performance confidence were measured using an adapted Healthcare Professionals Patient Safety Assessment Curriculum Survey. Data were collected in February and March 2024 and analyzed using SPSS version 24.0. Results: In the experimental group, scores increased from 9.52 ± 1.88 to 12.52 ± 2.12 for patient safety knowledge, from 4.20 ± 0.30 to 4.67 ± 0.30 for patient safety attitudes, and from 4.18 ± 0.50 to 4.59 ± 0.41 for patient safety performance confidence. In the control group, corresponding scores were 7.93 ± 1.89 to 8.13 ± 1.52, 4.10 ± 0.31 to 3.98 ± 0.35, and 4.00 ± 0.76 to 3.86 ± 0.89, respectively. After adjusting for baseline scores, the experimental group showed significantly higher posttest scores than the control group for patient safety knowledge ( Conclusion: Room of errors simulation was associated with significant improvements in patient safety knowledge, attitudes, and performance confidence among nursing students preparing for clinical practice. These findings suggest that room of errors simulation may be a feasible educational strategy for strengthening patient safety education before clinical practice.
