Using Peer-Assisted Learning to Enhance Clinical Reasoning Skills in Undergraduate Nursing Students: A Study in Iraq.
Article in Advances in medical education and practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
Aim: This study examines the experiences and perceptions of first- and fourth-year nursing students regarding Peer-Assisted Learning (PAL) in clinical settings. Design and Methods: This study employed a qualitative descriptive design to explore and understand first- and fourth-year nursing students' perceptions, experiences, and reflections regarding Peer-Assisted Learning (PAL) in a clinical setting. Data were extracted from studies involving first- and fourth-year students, comparing academic competencies, confidence, peer relationships, and professional identity. Thematic analysis synthesized findings from clinical and simulation settings. Results: PAL significantly enhanced critical thinking, problem-solving, and clinical decision-making. First-year students reported increased motivation and a sense of belonging through mentorship, while senior students, acting as peer educators, strengthened their professional identity and commitment to nursing values. Across all levels, PAL fostered collaboration and community, which are essential for healthcare practice. Conclusion: PAL effectively supports nursing students' cognitive and social development, preparing them for healthcare's collaborative and reflective nature. Integrating structured PAL programs into nursing curricula can enhance academic performance, motivation, and professional identity, fostering resilient and community-oriented healthcare professionals.
