Insights from 40 years of educational research: honoring Jeroen van Merriënboer.
Review in Advances in simulation (London, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Simulation-based education in healthcare has advanced significantly, yet a persistent gap remains between educational science and healthcare simulation research. The late Jeroen van Merriënboer's extensive work in educational science provides valuable guidance for bridging this gap. Four key insights from his research can serve as a strong theoretical bedrock for educators and researchers aiming to design more effective and cohesive simulation-based learning experiences: (1) integrating learning in both simulated and real environments to improve transfer, (2) offering targeted learner support that evolves with expertise, (3) embracing the complexity of educational practice and avoiding one-size-fits-all solutions, and (4) embedding domain-general skills within specific disciplines. Championing these insights may catalyze more theory-informed practice and research in healthcare simulation. Nevertheless, applying these principles in practice remains a challenge, highlighting the need for further research into the "how"-specifically how to interconnect learning environments, adapt instruction to diverse needs, integrate theory with practice, and combine the teaching of domain-general and domain-specific skills.
