Student nurses' views on shift patterns: What do they prefer and why? Results from a Tweetchat.
Article in Nursing open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aimThe main aim of the study was to understand student nurses' views around shift patterns.
designQualitative study.
methodWe held a Tweetchat in May 2019, where we asked questions around the frequency of 12-hr shifts working on placement; schedule flexibility while on placement; which shift patterns they preferred and why. Data from the Tweetchat were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis to generate themes from initial codes.
resultsSeventy-three nursing students participated in the Tweetchat. The majority reported that they work 12-hr shifts on placements, particularly when based in a hospital. We identified three themes: 'Achieving a personal equilibrium'; 'Meeting the needs of the care environment'; 'Factors affecting negotiation capacity'. Data highlighted a conflict for most students, where they preferred 12-hr shifts because of more time off for study, paid work and leisure, while acknowledging 12-hr shifts negatively affected their fatigue, exhaustion and led them to follow a poor diet and neglect exercise and sleep.
