Effect of early clinical exposure on communication, history-taking, and nursing diagnosis skills: A brief report.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
backgroundClinical education is a key component of the nursing curriculum. Therefore, it is necessary to use new methods to learn basic clinical skills better. This study examines the effect of an early exposure educational program on first-year nursing students' communication, history-taking, and nursing diagnostic skills. MATERIALS AND
methodsUsing a census method, this brief report included all first-year students of the Dezful University of Medical Sciences in two academic semesters in 2023. An early exposure program was implemented for one group of students. In the second semester, both groups' communication skills, history-taking, and nursing diagnoses were measured in the clinical environment using a checklist. Pearson's and Spearman's correlation coefficients were used in this study. Data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS version 16 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) with a 95% determination level.
resultsCommunication skills (35.6 ± 4.87, 23.73 ± 2.28), patient history-taking (14.03 ± 1.158, 8.47 ± 1.59), and nursing diagnosis (8.03 ± 1.31, 3.26 ± 1.86) were significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group. In the intervention group, there was a significant and positive correlation between communication and nursing diagnosis (r = 0.366), communication and history-taking (r = 0.433), and history-taking with nursing diagnosis (r = 0.523).
conclusionsBased on the positive results of this study, nursing managers should provide the possibility of implementing methods, such as early exposure, by creating a suitable platform.
