The effect of simulator-assisted application on anxiety, satisfaction, and self-confidence level of students taking internal medicine nursing course: a randomized controlled and experimental trial.
Trial report in BMC medical education, 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
backgroundNursing education has increasingly benefited from innovative teaching methods, such as simulation-based learning, to enhance engagement, satisfaction, and self-confidence of students while managing the emotional challenges associated with clinical training.
methodsThis study was conducted as a randomised controlled and experimental trial with students who took the course of internal medicine nursing in the nursing department of the faculty of health sciences of a state university in the autumn term of the 2022-2023 academic year. The students in the intervention group were provided with the scenarios generated by the researchers using the simulation model. Before starting the simulation application, a questionnaire, the state-trait anxiety inventory, and the student satisfaction and self-confidence in learning scale were applied to both intervention and control groups and the scales were repeated after the application.
resultsThe mean scores of the students in the intervention group on the student satisfaction and self-confidence in learning scale were 3.8 ± 0.6 before the simulation and increased to 4.4 ± 0.6 after the simulation (p < 0.05). While their mean score of the state anxiety inventory increased from 39.5 ± 5.8 to 40.6 ± 5.3, their mean score of the trait anxiety inventory decreased from 46.6 ± 6.0 to 46.1 ± 5.5 (p > 0.05).
conclusionsConsequently, it was determined that simulation-assisted education did not affect the anxiety level of the students and significantly affected their levels of satisfaction and self-confidence in learning.
