Comparing Visual Self-Assessment and Virtual Reality Training for Improving Basic Life Support Competency in Nursing Students: An Educational Study.
Article in Health science reports, 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
Background and Aims: Cardiac arrest (CA) is an important medical emergency and a leading cause of death worldwide. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an essential basic life support (BLS) and the initial response to CA. The success of resuscitation depends on the skills and performance of rescuers, as well as effective training to enhance knowledge and skills in this area. This study aimed to compare the effects of visual self-assessment (VSA) and virtual reality (VR) training on nursing students' CPR competency. Methods: This educational study included 54 students who were randomly assigned to one of two groups of VSA and VR and received BLS training. A four-section questionnaire assessed the students' demographic information, knowledge, attitude, and performance related to BLS before the intervention, immediately, and 2 months after the intervention. SPSS 27 and Mann-Whitney Results: Mean age of participants was 22.61 ± 1.64 years; 32 (59.3%) were female, and 23 (42.6%) were in 5 academic semester. Only 2 months after intervention, the median BLS knowledge score in VSA group was significantly higher than VR group (15 (14-15) vs. 14 (13.75-14)) ( Conclusion: Based on the study results, both VSA and VR training were effective in improving the nursing student's knowledge, attitude, and performance of BLS. However, VSA was partially more effective.
