Factors shaping learning in clinical environments for healthcare professionals in low- and middle-income countries: a scoping review protocol.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionThe clinical environment is recognised to influence learning for healthcare professionals, with the described challenges likely extenuated in low- and middle-income countries that are tackling resource limitations. There is limited research on factors influencing learning in clinical environments in low- and middle-income countries, with no scoping review on this topic published to date. This review will identify the key factors described to shape learning in clinical environments for healthcare professionals in low- and middle-income countries. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A scoping review will be performed according to Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology and reported following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines. Databases to be searched include MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Elsevier), CINAHL (EBSCO), Web of Science, ERIC (Education Resources Information Center) and Global Health (CABI) from 1990 to present with no language restriction. Following abstract and full-text screening by two independent reviewers, data will be extracted by two independent reviewers and presented in diagrammatic or tabular form, accompanied by a narrative summary. Results will be summarised using quantitative and qualitative analyses. Data will be organised using the components of the clinical learning environment to present factors shaping learning, described challenges, outcomes of interventions and reported recommendations for improvement. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethics approval is not required. Findings will be disseminated through conference presentations and publication in a scientific journal. Results will be used to inform future studies exploring stakeholder perspectives on clinical learning in paediatric oncology in low- and middle-income countries. TRIAL REGISTRATION DETAILS: This protocol was registered on Open Science Framework on 5 September 2024; https://osf.io/ysedk.
