Cognitive Competence and Curriculum Development in Nurse Anesthesia Education: A Pilot Study.
Article in Advances in medical education and practice, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Advanced practice nursing in the United States is shifting toward doctoral certification, most commonly a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree. However, there is limited evidence that this transition improves clinical competence. Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine whether modifications in a nurse anesthesia curriculum that transitioned from a Master of Nursing to a Doctor of Nursing Practice program were associated with improved cognitive performance using an oral examination. Design: A prospective, comparative observational study of students from a single, university-based nurse anesthesia program. Methods: This study was a small-scale investigation (n = 22) that used a quantitative method to compare the performances of consecutive cohorts of Master of Nursing and Doctor of Nursing Practice nurse anesthesia students as rated by oral examinations designed to evaluate critical thinking skills and previously shown to demonstrate internal consistency and reliability. Results: After completing an expanded curriculum, Doctor of Nursing Practice nurse anesthesia students performed significantly better than Master of Nursing students on oral examination, with improvements in cognitive domains previously identified as areas of underperformance by Master of Nursing students. Conclusion: Targeted curricular additions in a Doctor of Nursing Practice program correlated with improvements in nurse anesthesia student cognitive competence as measured by oral examination.
