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

Introduction: Clinical judgment is crucial for nurses because it directly impacts patient safety and outcomes. Simulation is an effective strategy for teaching clinical reasoning and judgment. This study investigated the relationship between simulation performance and foundational knowledge from previous academic subjects, as measured by clinical judgment performance on the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric (LCJR). This study aimed to determine the impact of simulation-based learning and previous academic achievement on LCJR scores among nursing students. Methods: In this cross-sectional quantitative study, a questionnaire was administered to second-year undergraduate nursing students (n = 85) after they completed simulation-based learning. The questionnaire captured self-assessed achievement levels related to the simulation's learning objectives and previous academic subjects. Statistical analysis included normality tests, Cronbach's α, Spearman's correlation, and multiple regression, with simulation and subject achievement as independent variables and LCJR scores as the dependent variable. Results: Achievement of learning objective 3 (the "expectation to initial grasp") within the simulation, along with self-reported achievement in physical assessment, critical thinking, and nursing processes from previous academic subjects, significantly affected the LCJR total score and the "Interpreting" dimension. Physical assessment, critical thinking, and nursing processes also significantly impacted the LCJR "Noticing" dimension. Achievement of learning objective 1 ("Gathering information from electronic medical records") and learning objective 3 affected the LCJR "Responding." Conclusions: The achievement of physical assessment, critical thinking, and nursing process in the previous academic subjects affected the total LCJR scores and the scores of Noticing and Interpreting. Emphasizing these areas of nursing education may enhance the students' clinical judgment skills.
