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

Clinical training plays a fundamental role in nursing students' acquisition of professional capabilities. This study aimed to explore the perceived challenges nursing students face during clinical training. An explorative cross-sectional study was applied. A proportionate, stratified, random sample was enrolled in the study with inclusive criteria, including nursing students (2nd - 4th year) and interns who attended their internship in regional hospitals. A validated electronic questionnaire was used for data collection, which consisted of three sections and 29 items. The section that focused on the difficulties experienced by nursing students during their practical training included six elements: teachers, healthcare professionals, the students themselves, tasks, time management, and the location of the training. Another section inquired about the students' perspectives on the benefits of clinical training. A three-point "Likert scale" was applied. The findings indicated that mild (24%), moderate (62%), and severe (14%) degree of challenges were perceived by the study participants. The mean score for the total challenges during clinical training was 2.00 ± 0.28, and there were variations in the perceived challenges among grade levels. In conclusion, there are variations in the perceived challenges during clinical training among different grade levels. These challenges were related to teachers, health workers, the students, tasks, the time, and the place. Enhancing the nursing curricula alignment with practical training objectives is recommended, focusing on the development of technical and interpersonal skills with appropriate guidance, alongside positive clinical settings to help nursing students learn and boost their confidence in their approach.
