Remarkable events: learning to care through narratives in nursing students during clinical placements.
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
introductionRemarkable events foster comprehensive, reflective, and critical learning. These can be defined as short narratives in which students recount caregiving situations experienced during clinical placements that have had a special impact on their learning.
objectiveTo explore nursing students' learning process using narratives generated during routine clinical placements, and whilst caring for others during confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic.
designAn exploratory-descriptive qualitative study was conducted.
participantsA total of 94 third-year nursing students participated in this investigation during the academic years 2015-2016 and 2019-2020.
methodsThe critical incident technique and classic content analysis were used to collect and analyse students' narratives about their learning whilst caring for others in two different contexts.
resultsSeven categories were identified, with wellbeing and safety emerging as the most prominent. Notable differences appeared across gender and year of study: in 2019–2020, autonomy gained greater relevance in the context of remote learning and the uncertainty of COVID-19.
conclusionsRemarkable events proved to be a valuable reflective tool, enabling nursing students to critically integrate technical skills with wellbeing, safety, and autonomy. They also support professional growth and highlight the influence of gender and clinical context on learning. This approach supports reflective learning and fosters holistic professional development in nursing education.
