Enhancing self-efficacy in nursing internship students through Reiki practices: A randomized controlled trial.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 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
backgroundSelf-efficacy is crucial for nursing students transitioning into clinical practice. Reiki, an energy therapy, shows promise in enhancing self-perception and well-being. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Reiki practices on the self-efficacy of nursing internship students. MATERIALS AND
methodsA single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Iran, from April to July 2023. Forty-four nursing internship students were randomly divided using sealed envelopes into either an intervention group (
resultsBoth groups were demographically comparable at baseline. There was no statistically significant difference in self-efficacy scores between the intervention and control groups before the intervention (
conclusionReiki Level I training and practice significantly enhanced self-efficacy among nursing internship students, which suggests its potential as a complementary strategy in nursing education. Future research should explore the long-term impact and broader applications of Reiki in diverse educational and cultural contexts.
