1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: The development of occupational identity is an open and dynamic process and represents an element of competence development. Measures to accompany this development include reflecting on typical professional situations, individual challenges and the professional role. Peer counselling in the format of peer group supervision appears suitable for creating the necessary opportunities for reflection. Aim: The study investigates the influence of peer group supervision on the development of occupational identity and whether peer group supervision influences psychological well-being. Methods: A group of apprentices (n=25) in the three-year nursing training programme were trained in peer group supervision and conducted it regularly over the course of a year. In a mixed-methods approach, the commitment questionnaire of the COMET instrument, the WHO-5 well-being index, progress logs and focus group interviews were used to determine the effects and influences of peer group supervision on occupational identity and well-being in the longitudinal section. Results: Peer group supervision has a moderating influence on the development of occupational identity and contributes to competence development. Psychological well-being can be improved through peer group supervision. Conclusions: Peer group supervision should be learned in a structured way and continuously be applied in vocational training.
