Effectiveness of In-situ Simulation on Clinical Competence for Nurses: A Systematic Review.
Article in Clinical simulation in nursing, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
In-situ simulation (ISS) has many known benefits. This systematic review examined the effectiveness of ISS in the acute care setting for registered nurses' clinical competence, as defined by cognitive, skills, and affective learning outcomes. The PRISMA 2020 guidelines were utilized and PUBMED, EMBASE, and CINAHL databases were searched to identify peer-reviewed randomized controlled trials. Inclusion criteria were peer-reviewed randomized controlled trials, acute care setting, ISS, nursing profession, and skill or knowledge learning outcomes. The exclusion criteria were nonintervention simulations, nonpeer-reviewed articles, and a population of no registered nurses or only nursing students. The search yielded 22 articles, seven of which met inclusion criteria. The articles were appraised and found to have acceptable methodology using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tool. ISS was found to overall increase clinical competence in registered nurses. ISS has been demonstrated to maintain clinical competence in registered nurses. Further research needs to be done to determine effective frequency, high-fidelity vs low-fidelity, and effectiveness compared to Off-site simulation.
