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

backgroundHigh-fidelity simulation (HFS) has become a widely used and established pedagogy for teaching clinical nursing skills. Nevertheless, there are few evidence-based instruments that validate the effectiveness of simulation learning in mainland China.

methodsThe Simulation Learning Effectiveness Inventory (SLEI) was adapted and validated for use in this study. Psychometric evaluation, incorporating classical test theory and item response theory (IRT) methods, was performed with 533 third-year undergraduate nursing students who were recruited from May 2017 to July 2018.

resultsThe findings of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed that the simplified Chinese version of the SLEI (SLEI-SC) was composed of six factors, namely, course arrangement, equipment resource, debriefing, clinical ability, problem solving, and confidence, which explained 60.84% of the total variance. The Cronbach's α, MIIC, marginal reliability, and test-retest reliability values obtained for the total scale were 0.88, 0.38, 0.96, and 0.88, respectively. Furthermore, the difference between the total scores for learning effectiveness pre- and post-course was statistically significant (

conclusionWe demonstrated initial psychometric evidence and support for the 31-item SLEI-SC as a developmentally appropriate instrument for assessing the learning effectiveness of all phases of HFS use with nursing students.
