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

backgroundEquality, diversity and inclusion initiatives seek to embed the concept of inclusive pedagogy to promote inclusive educational environments. However, no evidence synthesis exists which examines whether and how the concept of inclusive pedagogy is addressed in online simulation-based learning in the undergraduate nursing education literature.

aimsTo map the evidence regarding the adoption of inclusive pedagogy in online simulation-based learning in undergraduate nursing education.

designA scoping review.

methodsData were extracted, synthesized and presented in narrative and table format. DATA SOURCES: A systematic search of five databases and five sources of grey literature was conducted to search literature published between 1st January 2010 to 1st June 2022.

resultsThirty-eight papers published between 2011 and 2022 were included. The results are presented under three identified themes: (1) Learner diversity; (2) Theoretical frameworks promoting equality, diversity and inclusion in online simulation and (3) Online simulation feedback.

conclusionInclusive pedagogy has not been considered or embedded in its entirety in online simulation in undergraduate nursing education literature. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Utilizing an inclusive pedagogy framework may prove advantageous in generating inclusive teaching approaches to support all students. IMPACT: This review will interest educators and managers that wish to incorporate equality, diversity and inclusion initiatives in nursing education. REPORTING

methodThis scoping review has adhered to the EQUATOR guidelines: the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis extension for Scoping Reviews checklist. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No Patient or Public Contribution.
