Australian Paramedic Students' Reports of Clinical Placement Experiences: A Snapshot From two Cohorts.
Article in The clinical teacher, 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
Clinical placements are a core requirement of paramedicine undergraduate degrees in Australia. Registered paramedics are expected to participate in teaching and mentoring of undergraduate students during placement. Additionally, universities and paramedic clinical placement providers are required to actively participate in providing 360° feedback to ensure ongoing quality of clinical placements. Most students look forward to attending clinical placement and experiencing what it is really like to be a paramedic; however, at times, students' expectations differ greatly to their experiences. In this study, we provide students' reporting of their experiences and feedback verbatim and, where possible, grouped into four themes of challenges common across placements: staffing/supervisor challenges, clinical challenges, occupational hazards and balancing competing demands. We welcome further discussion and recommend collaborations between universities, clinical placement providers and regulatory bodies to improve clinical placement experiences of paramedicine students on clinical placements, clinical supervision and, potentially, patient safety outcomes.
