International Internship Collaborations: Rwandan Nephrology Graduate Nurses Describe Their Experiences Abroad.
Article in Rwanda journal of medicine and health sciences, 2024. 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
Background: International internships provide many benefits to graduate nurses, including bridging the gap between theory and practice. Yet, these internships in culturally diverse regions also present various challenges. Objective: This study explored the experiences gained by nephrology graduate master's nurses from the University of Rwanda who attended clinical training in more advanced settings in Asia and Africa. Methods: A qualitative design and semi-structured interview guide was employed to solicit individual opinions of nine nephrology graduate nurses who had attended international internships in India and Kenya. Content analysis was used to analyse and interpret the meaning of the textual data. Results: Four themes emerged from the analysis, namely Inter-professional collegiality, Cross-cultural adaptation, Challenges of the internships, and becoming a Change agent upon return to work in Rwanda. Conclusion: Participants reported many positive learning experiences and some challenges. These challenges could be rectified in future internships abroad. The training bridged the theory-practice gap and increased the graduate nurses' experiences as global citizens.
