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

objectiveTo explore the application of debriefing in simulation-based education of surgical nursing.

methodA self-controlled before-and-after study was conducted among third-year nursing students (8 classes) in a 12-hour surgical nursing simulation course. The first 6-hour session in the initial semester served as the control condition (conventional teaching), while the subsequent 6-hour session in the following semester served as the experimental condition (debriefing teaching). Outcomes including theoretical scores, critical thinking disposition, general self-efficacy, and student evaluations of the debriefing were compared between the two phases.

resultsIn the experimental phase, theoretical exam scores, critical thinking disposition scores, and general self-efficacy scores were (73.92 ± 7.40), (298.11 ± 52.68), and (3.20 ± 0.60), respectively, compared to (65.81 ± 9.42), (228.41 ± 20.60), and (2.82 ± 0.55) in the control phase. The differences between the two phases were statistically significant (P < 0.001). Student evaluations suggested that the majority of students in the experimental phase had a positive attitude towards this teaching method.

conclusionThis self-controlled study indicated that the integration of debriefing into simulation-based education in surgical nursing was associated with higher theoretical knowledge, critical thinking disposition, self-efficacy, and learning satisfaction.
