Factors Affecting Student Experiences on Work-Integrated Placements-A Scoping Review of Trans-Tasman Studies.
Article in European journal of dental education : official journal of the Association for Dental Education in Europe, 2026. 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
backgroundWork-integrated placements form a vital component of health programs across the world. This scoping review aimed to identify barriers and enablers to support the development of work-ready graduates on the placements within the dental programs.
methodsThis scoping review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-Scr) framework. Databases (Medline, CINAHL, Embase and Web of Science) were searched, and the studies from Australia, New Zealand and Fiji were screened for eligibility based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria.
resultsInitial search yielded 115 studies out of which five studies were eligible for inclusion in this scoping review. The included studies highlighted enablers, such as improved confidence, competence and working independently, as well as the development of social capital through positive relationships with the clinical educators. Barriers identified ranged from harassment, infrastructure and accommodation issues, and the impact of being away from family or city life.
conclusionsThis scoping review provides insights into the factors affecting student experiences on work-integrated placements in dental programs. The findings suggest the need for supportive supervision, training to address harassment and resources to support students who may face challenges during placements. Further research is needed to explore these themes and evaluate interventions to improve student experiences on clinical placements.
