1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Obstetrics and Gynecology Nursing (OB-GYN) is a critical yet challenging field of study for male nursing undergraduates due to traditional gender biases and the perception of it being a female-dominated profession. Objective: The study aimed to better understand the experiences of male nursing students in learning OB-GYN. Methods: This study used a qualitative method of phenomenological study approach. The purpose sampling approach was used to recruit participants from April to May 2024. The interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Van Manen's method of phenomenological hermeneutics was adopted to analyze the text. Results: The study interviewed 10 participants and identified three key themes: (1) negative future appraisal, (2) breaking out of information bubbles, and (3) positive capacity-building among male students. Conclusion: In this study, male nursing undergraduates expressed negative future appraisal, but experienced the growth and gain of personal skills in the learning process. An important finding was that male nursing undergraduates expressed the need to overcome traditional cultural biases. Future OB-GYN class is recommended to introduce male role models for male nursing students, encourage their discussion on gender-bias. Researchers are recommended to investigate the barriers and facilitators in OB-GYN education for male nursing students.
