Effects of unfolding case-based simulation in obstetrics and gynecology internships on caring ability and caring behaviors: a quasi-experimental study.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Background: Obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN) internships are emotionally demanding and require nursing students to integrate specialty competence with sustained caring. Evidence on whether unfolding case-based simulation can improve both caring ability and caring behaviors during OBGYN internships remains limited. Methods: We conducted a prospective, controlled quasi-experimental study in the OBGYN ward of Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital from June 2024 to March 2025. Final-year undergraduate nursing interns ( Results: Baseline characteristics and baseline CAI and CBI scores were comparable between groups. After adjustment for baseline scores, the intervention group had significantly higher end-of-rotation CAI and CBI total and dimension scores than the control group (all Conclusion: Adding unfolding case-based simulation to conventional OBGYN preceptorship was associated with substantial short-term improvements in nursing students' caring ability and caring behaviors, alongside better specialty performance and teaching satisfaction. Further studies using multicenter designs, delayed follow-up, and objective behavioral assessments are needed to determine whether these gains are sustained and transferable to real clinical practice.
