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

Background: We explored the learning effectiveness of three virtual simulation tools used in the Coronavirus Disease pandemic environment. Sample: Study participants consisted of students from two nursing classes, a junior and a senior class. Method: A mixed-methods approach compared three tools' performance across five learning domains. Descriptive statistics and analysis of variance compared mean ratings for learning domains. Open-ended questions were included for qualitative evaluation. Results: Thirty-six respondents rated the Resource Simulation Center (RSC), based on the observation of videos of students undergoing simulation exercises, as superior to the other two. There were no differences between the other two tools. Qualitative findings echoed preference by students for "RSC". Conclusion: "RSC" was preferred over a commercial product based on computer generated graphics, and a free-online product based on clinical scenarios acted out in short videos. Differences in debriefing practices may have influenced the results, thereby emphasizing the role of debriefing with virtual simulation tools.
