Experiences of Nursing Interns in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Saudi Arabia: A Phenomenological Study.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundClinical training in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a unique experience due to the specialty and complex care provided for critically ill neonates. There is a lack of research exploring nursing interns' experience in the NICU. PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore the nursing interns' experience regarding their clinical placement in the NICU in Saudi Arabia.
methodA phenomenological study was used to understand the lived experience of nursing interns in the NICU. Data were collected through two semi-structured focus group interviews. The first focus group included eight nursing interns, and the second group included seven. These interns completed their NICU placement. Thematic analysis was employed to identify key themes from the data.
resultsFour main themes emerged from the analysis: (1) pleasant experiences in the NICU training, (2) sources of encouragement in the NICU training, (3) barriers to effective learning in the NICU, and (4) assessment and growth.
conclusionSupportive NICU staff and practical involvement enhanced effective learning, while administrative tasks and improper use of interns' time posed significant barriers. Revising the nursing interns' training program in the NICU is needed to reduce non-educational tasks and improve assessment methods to better reflect interns' clinical performance.
