"It would be nice if the university appreciated the commitment more" - medical students and their learning and working experiences as co-caregivers during the pandemic.

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
Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, many medical students played an active role in the healthcare sector. This cross-sectional survey was used to record the participants´ work and learning experiences. Methodology: During the first lockdown (May/June 2020), we conducted a nationwide online survey of medical students who took part in pandemic assignments. Results: A total of 381 medical students on placement participated in the survey. The most common placement locations were hospitals (60%), followed by outpatient care (21%) and the public health services (18%). Tasks included in particular nursing activities, blood sampling, patient consultations and smear tests. Most students felt well integrated. Hospitals were associated with more stress and excessive demands.The greatest learning gains were experienced in the areas of collaboration, communication, knowledge of the health system, practical skills, insights into everyday medical practice and crisis management. In the free text responses, many respondents criticised the healthcare system particularly the focus on economics, bureaucratic processes and hierarchical structures. Positive feedback related to appreciation of nursing care. Many students said that they missed support from the faculty. Looking to the future, many would like to see more practical and responsible activities in healthcare. 80% of participants would be available for such an assignment again. Conclusion: The integration of the students can be considered a success. Many experienced progresses in key areas of expertise and would like to see more structured active participation in healthcare.
