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
aimTo explore nursing students' satisfaction levels of each specific item and perceptions under the unprecedented abrupt online clinical practicum during the COVID-19 pandemic.
designA mixed-method design comprises a questionnaire and qualitative content analysis.
methodsThe study used purposive sampling using data from nursing students in grade 3 of a 4-year bachelor RN programme at a technological university in the north of Taiwan, compiled from May 2021 to June 2021 using an online questionnaire. Students were invited to fill out a 5-point Likert scale to answer questions on their satisfaction with online clinical practicum and an open-ended question describing their experiences and perceptions of online clinical practicum. Quantitative data were analysed using the mean and standard deviation. Qualitative data were analysed using content analysis.
resultsA total of 157 nursing students participated. Students' overall satisfaction with online clinical practicum gained the lowest score with a mean score of 3.33 (±0.98). By contrast, students' satisfaction with the attitudes of teachers for online clinical practicum gained the highest score with a mean score of 4.53 (±0.69). Based on qualitative data analysis, the advantages of online clinical practicum include providing flexible learning time and space and improving the learning depth of the nursing profession; the disadvantages include the negative impact of long-term online learning on body and mind and difficulty replacing the learning in real clinic scenarios.
conclusionsStudents have a moderate level of overall satisfaction with online clinical practicum, but a high level of satisfaction with teachers' teaching attitudes. Students perceptions that online clinical practicum can provide flexible learning time and space and improve nursing professional knowledge through multiple teaching strategies; however, online virtual practicum can scarcely replace the real experience gained by nursing patients. IMPACT: The findings highlight the value of online practicum in offering flexible learning opportunities and enhancing nursing knowledge through multiple teaching strategies. However, students also underscore the irreplaceable role of hands-on patient care experiences in developing comprehensive clinical competence, suggesting the need to balance virtual and real-world practicum in nursing education. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
