Effects of virtual reality-based disaster simulation education on nursing students.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to confirm the effectiveness of disaster simulation education that uses virtual reality (VR).
methodThis quasi-experimental study was conducted using a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design. Participants in this study were third- and fourth-year nursing students at two universities. A total of 67 nursing students were included in the analysis, with 33 in the experimental group and 34 in the control group. The experimental group underwent VR disaster simulation education based on cognitive continuum theory. The control group underwent written case simulation.
resultsDisaster triage accuracy (t = 6.11, p < .001), disaster triage confidence (t = 2.69, p = .009), learning immersion (t = 6.88, p < .001), and cognitive flexibility (t = 5.47, p < .001) significantly increased in the experimental group.
conclusionThe possibility of using the VR simulation program based on cognitive continuum theory developed through this study should be further explored. An effective educational strategy is presented to strengthen prospective health care professionals' disaster capabilities through VR disaster simulation education training.
