First Contact With Care Through Clinical Simulation in Nursing Students: Qualitative Study.
Article in JMIR 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
Background: Clinical simulation with standardized patients provides nursing students with their first approach to care in a safe and realistic environment. This type of experience arouses intense emotions and supports the development of key competencies. Objective: This study aimed to explore the perceptions of nursing students during their first contact with care through simulation experiences with standardized patients. Methods: We conducted a qualitative descriptive phenomenological study using focus groups and reflective narratives with a sample of 59 students. A thematic analysis was performed using ATLAS.ti (version 24; Scientific Software Development GmbH). Results: Three thematic blocks, along with their categories and subcategories, were identified: (T1) first contact with simulation, (T2) learning and competencies, and (T3) preparation for clinical practice. Conclusions: Clinical simulation has a profound impact on nursing education by offering a safe and realistic environment in which to learn from experience. Emotions, teamwork, and human interaction enrich learning and strengthen professional identity. This approach supports the integration of technical knowledge and relational skills. The results support the inclusion of active and humanized methodologies in training plans.
