Why do nursing students make medication errors? A qualitative study in Indonesia.
Article in Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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
objectivesThis study aimed to explore Indonesian nursing students' perceptions of the types and causes of medication errors in clinical rotations.
methodsThis descriptive qualitative study was conducted with 26 nursing students who had completed their final clinical rotations. Data were collected through four focus group discussions and analysed by Colaizzi's method.
resultsThree themes were obtained from the data analysis: important role played by nurses in medication safety, types of medication errors (near misses) committed by nursing students, and the causes of medication errors during clinical rotations.
conclusionNurses play a vital role in dispensing medication and ensuring patient safety, but near misses are still reported during clinical rotations. Lack of knowledge, skills, proper supervision, and appropriate role models during clinical rotations lead to medication errors by nursing students. Appropriate role models and adequate supervision in the clinical education stage are necessary to ensure the achievement of medication safety competencies.
