Article in BMC nursing, 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
backgroundPediatric nursing is a specialized field that requires not only the provision of care to children, who are a unique group, but also the roles of advocacy and prevention, in addition to modern nursing roles. As a result, it may be perceived differently in nursing education compared to other core subjects. The aim of this study is to explore the emotions, thoughts, and experiences of Turkish and international students taking the pediatric nursing course.
methodsThis research is a qualitative study utilizing a phenomenological approach. The study was conducted with nursing students who took the pediatric nursing course at a foundation university. A total of 23 students who agreed to participate were included in the study. In-depth interviews, each lasting approximately 40 min, were conducted with each student. A semi-structured form was used during the interviews, and thematic analysis was performed on the collected data. Ethical approval and participant consent were obtained prior to the study.
resultsAs a result of the interviews, three main themes and five sub-themes emerged regarding the students' views on the pediatric nursing course. The themes were perception, thoughts, and experiences. The sub-themes were: child, positive thoughts, negative thoughts, personal development, and professional development.
conclusionThe study revealed that the pediatric nursing course was challenging for both groups of students and provided an opportunity to experience various emotions. Therefore, it is crucial to recognize that this course can provide valuable experiences for nursing students in preparation for their future careers. Additionally, to facilitate students' transition into pediatric practice, it is recommended to create a learning environment that emotionally supports students, including an orientation process aimed at providing a positive learning experience and fostering a therapeutic environment that supports role transitions.
