Jordanian nursing students' perceptions of the compassionate actions of their clinical instructors: a mixed-methods study.
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
backgroundIn helping professions such as nursing, caring is regarded as a fundamental principle. Observations of nursing students revealed both caring and non-caring behaviors, highlighting the complexity of professional development within clinical and educational settings.
aimThis study sought to understand how Jordanian nursing students perceived the caring behavior of clinical instructors during their clinical training.
methodA mixed-methods approach was utilized to recruit data from (n = 200) nursing students using the Nursing Students' Perception of Instructor Caring (NCPIC) developed by Wade and Kasper (2006).
resultThe findings showed that the average mean score for clinical instructor behaviors perceived by nursing students was at a medium level (M = 3.40 out of 6). Four themes were extracted, namely, communication, professionalism, holistic caring (mothering), and motivation. In contrast, the non-caring behaviors were reflected in poor communication, governing, and unfavorable personal traits of the clinical instructors, as well as acting in a non-professional manner.
conclusionCaring has been emphasized as a key component of nursing education. It should be inherent in the behavior and actions of clinical instructors when they interact with nursing students in a clinical setting. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
