Synthesis in Revista brasileira de enfermagem, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07733479 (Examining the Effects of ARCS-Based Education on Cardiovascular System Physical Examination Skills, Motivation, and Self-Efficacy Levels in Nursing Students), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

objectivesto highlight the effect of using clinical simulation in the training of undergraduate nursing students for the development of skills in cardiovascular health assessment.

methodsa systematic review was conducted in the PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, Scopus, EBSCO, Web of Science, and Science Direct databases from August to September 2023. Of the 685 articles identified, 6 were selected, consisting of 4 experimental studies and 2 quasi-experimental studies, all of good methodological quality according to the Joanna Briggs Institute.

resultsclinical simulation increased nursing students' levels of knowledge and confidence. Most studies indicated that simulated practices improve learning compared to traditional methodologies.

conclusionsclinical simulation requires more robust methodological designs, and more multicenter clinical trials on cardiovascular assessment in nursing need to be published.
