Effects of the use of clinical simulators on the development of practical skills in higher education.

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
Introduction: Clinical simulation has been consolidated as an innovative strategy to strengthen practical teaching in higher education in health sciences, as it enables the integration of theoretical knowledge with the development of clinical competencies in safe and controlled environments. The objective of the study was to analyze the effects of the use of clinical simulators on the development of practical skills among students of the Professional School of Obstetrics at Universidad Peruana Los Andes. Methodology: A quantitative, applied, descriptive-correlational design was employed. The sample consisted of 226 students selected through stratified probabilistic sampling, considering academic cycle and gender as strata to ensure representativeness of the student population. Data were collected using a 30-item structured questionnaire distributed across five theoretical dimensions, measured through a five-point Likert scale. The reliability of the instrument was assessed using Cronbach's Alpha, obtaining an overall coefficient of Results: The results showed that the dimensions "teamwork and communication" ( Conclusion: Clinical simulation constitutes an effective pedagogical strategy to enhance students' self-confidence, professional safety, and the practical integration of knowledge in health education. Its incorporation into university curricula is recommended, along with further research assessing its long-term impact on clinical performance.
