Satisfaction with academic supervision among nursing postgraduate students in China: a national multicenter cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC medical education, 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
backgroundHigh-quality academic supervision is essential to postgraduate nursing education, yet student-reported evidence on supervision quality remains limited, particularly across multiple institutions. This study examined the level of satisfaction with academic supervision among nursing postgraduate students in China and explored factors associated with higher satisfaction.
methodsA national multicenter cross-sectional survey was conducted among nursing postgraduate students from 30 universities in China between 2 April and 30 April 2024. Participants completed an anonymous online questionnaire assessing student and supervisor characteristics, team/mentorship structure, academic communication patterns, supervisor-student relationship classification, and learning motivation. Overall satisfaction with academic supervision was measured using a single-item 4-point ordinal scale. Ordinal logistic regression within the generalized linear model framework was used to identify factors associated with satisfaction with academic supervision.
resultsNursing postgraduate students generally reported high levels of satisfaction with academic supervision. Higher satisfaction was associated with challenge-oriented learning motivation, pursuit of money or other tangible incentives, positive team atmosphere and support from senior members, regular group meetings and knowledge sharing, guidance from multiple mentors, and "good teacher/helpful friend" and "task-oriented" supervisor-student relationships.
conclusionNursing postgraduate students generally reported high levels of satisfaction with academic supervision. Strengthening supervision structures and fostering supportive academic environments may further enhance academic supervision experiences in nursing postgraduate education.
