Male nursing students' experiences of their clinical internships: A qualitative study.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Nursing has traditionally been a predominantly female profession; however, there has been a gradual increase in the proportion of male nursing students in recent years. Male nursing students may encounter distinct challenges within clinical settings, potentially impacting their physical and mental well-being. Aim: This study aims to explore the clinical internship experiences of male nursing students and provide them with adequate support for their successful adaptation to clinical roles. Methods: This study used a descriptive design and qualitative approach. The participants were enrolled using a convenience sampling method. Data were collected using individual face-to-face semi-structured interviews. Results: Male nursing students' experiences of their clinical internships were described through the following themes: (1) dynamics of working as a nurse, (2) not just a male nursing student, (3) gender-based stereotypes, (4) balance between forte and failing, (5) difficulties and challenges when working in hospitals, and (6) lessons learned and knowledge needs. Conclusions: Our research findings have significantly enhanced our comprehension of male nursing students' experiences and offered valuable recommendations for both nursing education and clinical practice. Simultaneously, these results provide essential information support for nursing educators and hospital administrators.
