Mock trial as a simulation strategy allowing undergraduate nursing students to experience evidence-based practice: A scoping-review.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveThe purpose of this scoping review was to determine the underlying design of simulations that help undergraduate nursing students acquire evidence-based practice (EBP) experiences.
methodThe JBI methodology was used for this review. The inclusion criteria were studies conducted in academic, clinical, or virtual settings that examined simulation programs designed to facilitate the acquisition of EBP by undergraduate nursing students. A comprehensive search was performed on Jan 3, 2022, using the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE; PubMed), the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), the Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), and the Excerpta Medica database (EMBASE). Grey literature was not included. Publication year was limited to 2020 and later. There was no language restriction. Data were extracted using a tool developed by the reviewers and based on the National League for Nursing Jeffries Simulation Theory.
resultA total of 12,931 articles were found, and after duplicate articles and articles deemed ineligible based on the title and abstract (12,914 articles), 17 published papers were examined. The full texts of these studies were reviewed for eligibility, and one study was selected for the present scoping review. The selected study examined a mock trial designed to allow undergraduate nursing students to experience the ethical decision-making based on a diversity of evidence. The program reported in the study consisted of a prebriefing-simulation (mock)-debriefing structure with verified positive effects on EBP education.
conclusionA mock trial is a useful educational strategy for allowing undergraduate nursing students to experience EBP, but a creative method should be found that can modify the mock trial for practical operation as the designing the program demands high levels of human and material resources.
