Article in JMIR medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe shift to online education due to the COVID-19 pandemic posed significant challenges and opportunities for students, affecting their academic performance, mental well-being, and engagement.
objectiveThis study aimed to explore the overall learning experience among health informatics master's students at Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, and the strategies they used to overcome learning challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
methodsThrough 3 structured focus groups, this study explored health informatics master's students' experiences of shifting learning environments for classes that started in 2019, 2020, and 2021. All focus group sessions were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Inductive content analysis was used to analyze the data.
resultsThe results highlight the benefits of increased autonomy and flexibility and identify challenges such as technical difficulties, diminished social interactions, and psychological impacts. This study underscores the importance of effective online educational strategies, technological preparedness, and support systems to enhance student learning experiences during emergencies. The findings of this study highlight implications for educators, students, and higher education institutions to embrace adaptation and foster innovation. Implications for educators, students, and higher education institutions include the need for educators to stay current with the latest educational technologies and design teaching strategies and pedagogical approaches suited to both online and in-person settings to effectively foster student engagement. Students must be informed about the technological requirements for online learning and adequately prepared to meet them. Institutions play a critical role in ensuring equitable access to technology, guiding and supporting educators in adopting innovative tools and methods, and offering mental health resources to assist students in overcoming the challenges of evolving educational environments.
conclusionsThis research contributes to understanding the complexities of transitioning to online learning in urgent circumstances and offers insights for better preparing educational institutions for future pandemics.
