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

Introduction: The entry to a professional course such as nursing is challenging for the students, due to its multifaceted curriculum and learning expectations. Objectives: This study investigates the impact of peer tutoring on academic performance, psychological empowerment, and satisfaction among first-year nursing students. Methods: A quantitative approach with one-group pre-test post-test design was utilized. The study participants were 104 students, with 98 completing both pre- and post-test assessments. Results: Findings revealed a significant increase in academic performance following peer tutoring (t = 8.97, p < .001), particularly among female participants (t = 4.14, p < .001). Analysis of perceived usefulness showed higher ratings among peer tutors compared to tutees (t = 4.380, p =< .000). Additionally, students with lower GPAs (Grade Point Average) demonstrated significant improvement in academic performance post-tutoring in the ANOVA (F = 6.214, p < .001). A positive correlation was found between psychological empowerment and the perceived usefulness of peer tutoring. Peer tutors reported high levels of satisfaction and positive experiences (r = 0.639, p = 0.001). Conclusion: This study emphasises the value of peer tutoring in enhancing academic outcomes and highlights the significance of demographic variables in educational interventions. The need for widespread implementation of peer tutoring programs, personalized approaches addressing gender biases, and comprehensive support for students with diverse academic backgrounds would enhance academic outcomes. The correlation between psychological empowerment and the perceived usefulness of peer tutoring climaxes the importance of addressing students' psychological needs in educational interventions.
