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

backgroundSimulation is known to have a significant effect as a teaching strategy in nursing education. However, no studies have been conducted to examine the effect of simulation on nursing students' knowledge and confidence in performing critical care skills in Jordan PURPOSE: This study aimed to test the effect of simulation on university nursing students' knowledge and confidence in performing critical care skills for patients with cardiac, respiratory and neurological health problems.

methodA randomized controlled (pre-test-post-test) design was implemented. The experimental group (n = 38) attended 9 simulation scenarios, theoretical lectures and clinical training in hospital about cardiac, respiratory and neurological health problems, while the control group (n = 38) attended only the theoretical lectures and clinical training in hospital. Knowledge and confidence were measured using knowledge exam and self-confidence scale respectively.

resultsA paired

conclusionTheoretical and clinical training is valuable teaching strategies that help enhance knowledge and confidence in applying critical care skills. However, adding simulation has a more significant effect than theoretical and clinical training in improving nursing students' knowledge and confidence in performing critical care nursing skills. Author strongly recommended considering simulation as alternative effective educational approach for clinical training especially during COVID-pandemic.
