The Effect of 3D Printer and Moulage Use on Improving Stoma Care Knowledge and Skills in Nursing Students: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in International wound journal, 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
Stoma care is a vital skill that affects patients' quality of life; however, the shortcomings of traditional static models have limited tissue realism and produce fewer varied training scenarios. This research examines the impact of using 3D printing models and role-playing applications in education on nursing students' knowledge, skills, satisfaction, and self-confidence regarding stoma care. The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the effect of an application involving 3D printing, moulage, and role-playing (high-fidelity simulation) on knowledge, skills, satisfaction, and self-confidence compared to traditional low-fidelity models. Participants met the inclusion criteria and were then eligible for random assignment. Seventy-six students were divided into experimental (38) and control (38) groups using a random number table. Data were collected using an information form, a skills rubric and a satisfaction-self-confidence scale; the results are presented at a significance level of p < 0.05 and with a 95% confidence interval (CI). No difference was found between the groups in pre-training knowledge scores (p = 0.545, r = 0.069). Post-training, the experimental group showed significantly higher scores than the control group in terms of knowledge (p < 0.001, r = 0.463), care skills (p < 0.001, r = 0.472), satisfaction (p = 0.019, r = 0.269) and self-confidence (p = 0.001, r = 0.378). According to Cohen's guidelines, these statistical findings indicate medium-to-large effect sizes between the groups, demonstrating the substantial educational impact of the developed 3D-printed and moulage-based high-fidelity simulation model on nursing students' competencies. This study demonstrated that the use of 3D printers and modelling had a significant and clinically meaningful effect on students' cognitive and psychomotor outcomes. This model is a strong alternative for enhancing clinical competence in nursing education.
