Exploring the learning experiences and optimization pathways of nursing master's students in an Evidence-Based Nursing course: a mixed-methods study.
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
aimTo explore the learning experiences of nursing master's students in an EBN course and identify pathways for optimization.
methodsQuantitative data were collected before and after the course using validated instruments. Qualitative data were obtained through post-course semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using statistical methods, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically.
resultsStudents showed significant improvements in overall EBP practice competency (Z = -5.485, p < 0.001) and critical thinking disposition (Z = -5.141, p < 0.001). Although a decrease in perceived barriers to EBN was observed, the change was not statistically significant (Z = -1.415, p = 0.157). Thematic analysis revealed three themes: (1) cognitive development and knowledge construction; (2) competence acquisition and internalization; and (3) learning challenges and expectations.
conclusionsContinued refinement of teaching strategies to better meet the learning needs and professional development goals of graduate students should be supported in the future.
