The Effectiveness of Peer Education, Mentorship and Role-Playing Approaches in Developing Clinical Skills Among Iranian Nursing Students: A Systematic Review.
Article in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background and Aims: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of peer education, mentorship, and role play approaches in developing clinical skills in nursing students. Methods: We conducted a systematic review using specific criteria to identify randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental focused on nursing students. From the period 2000 to November 28, 2024, six databases, namely Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Google Scholar, were searched through search strategy and the use of Boolean operators. Results: After screening 1821 titles and abstracts, 22 full texts were reviewed, and 6 studies were included in the final analysis. The findings revealed that mentorship significantly improved nursing students' clinical competencies compared to other methods. Role-playing effectively enhanced practical skills such as CPR and triage. Peer education fostered collaboration and confidence but demonstrated inconsistent results in enhancing clinical skills. Conclusion: Mentorship is the most effective method for improving clinical skills, while role-playing excels in practical training. Peer education supports collaboration with inconsistent results. Integrating these methods can enhance nursing education. Further research is needed for broader validation.
