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

rationaleThe complex nature of student learning in clinical practice calls for a comprehensive pedagogical framework on how to create optimal learning affordances. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to describe characteristics of conducted research regarding investigated research questions, distribution of different health care student groups, and employed methodological approaches.

methodsA scoping review was chosen to capture the multifaceted characteristics in the field of learning in clinical practice. Funded local projects were analysed to provide significant core concepts for the literature search. A systematic search and review of articles published 2000-2019 in the Nordic countries was conducted according to PRISMA- ScR (23). The search was made in Medline (OVID), SveMed+ and CINAHL and resulted in 3126 articles. After screening of the titles and abstracts 988 articles were included for further review. The abstracts of all these articles were reviewed against established inclusion and exclusion criteria and 391 articles were included. Characteristics of purposes and research questions were analysed with a qualitative content approach resulting in identified subject areas including significant categories. Health care student groups and methodological approaches were also identified.

resultsSubjects predominating the research were

conclusionHealth care students' learning in clinical practice has been researched to a large extent within the Nordic countries and important subject areas are well represented. The research displays a great potential to extract and describe factors to create a pedagogical framework with significant meaning to support students' learning.
