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

backgroundDue to the COVID-19 pandemic, universities had to switch to online teaching as quickly as possible. Part-time students who work in the healthcare sector have to manage the balancing act between an invariably online education and a mandatory physical attendance in a profession that maintains the system.

aimThe aim of the study was to explore the challenges faced by part-time students working in the healthcare sector, to identify the need for change and to derive recommendations for action for the university.

methodsThe data were collected using an open response online questionnaire. The obtained data were evaluated according to the qualitative content analysis of Mayring.

resultsProbably the greatest challenges that part-time students have to deal with, are the self-organized learning or the (on time) accomplishment of work assignments, which are often perceived as too extensive, and the independent development of teaching content. Furthermore, part-time students reported about the difficultness to reconcile e‑learning and work and/or family.

conclusionThese perceived challenges are not new but since additional family commitments and uncertainty of daily work routine are added, these challenges are gaining in importance during COVID-19. Therefore, learning environments, which are currently offered to part-time students, must be understood as caring spaces. In addition to new didactic concepts, universities should invest in the promotion of students' personal and social competencies.
