From Simulation to Sustainability: The Mediating Role of Clinical Self-Efficacy Among Undergraduate Healthcare Students.
Article in European journal of investigation in health, psychology and 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
Despite growing recognition that nurses must be equipped with sustainability competencies to address climate-related health challenges, the psychological mechanisms through which nursing education fosters sustainability attitudes are not yet fully understood. This study examined the mediating role of clinical performance self-efficacy in the relationship between simulation-based learning quality and sustainability attitudes among undergraduate nursing students. A cross-sectional correlational design was employed with a main sample of 679 nursing students from four Egyptian universities. Data were collected using the CHEST, SECP Scale, and SANS_2. Mediation analysis used Hayes' PROCESS macro with 5000 bootstrap resamples. Simulation-based learning quality significantly predicted both self-efficacy (β* = 0.772) and sustainability attitudes (β* = 0.613). Self-efficacy partially mediated this relationship, accounting for 68.34% of the total effect (indirect β* = 0.419, Boot 95% CI [0.343, 0.494]). Nursing educators should design simulation curricula that deliberately cultivate self-efficacy while embedding sustainability content, producing clinically competent and environmentally responsible graduates.
