The effect of peer-assisted learning on medication error occurrence among undergraduate nursing students: 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
backgroundMedication administration is one of the most sensitive duties of nurses and an essential part of the treatment and care process. Nursing students are more likely to make medication errors because of their inexperience and lack of ability. The importance of clinical education using modern approaches is undeniable. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of peer-assisted learning on medication error occurrence among undergraduate nursing students. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study is a randomized controlled trial, conducted in 2023-24, involving 50 fourth-semester undergraduate nursing students at a nursing school in Tehran, Iran. Students were chosen through a census method, and randomly divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group was taught pharmacotherapy via peer teaching, and data were collected using the Medication Error Occurrence Questionnaire (MEOQ). The data analysis was performed using SPSS software, and descriptive statistical tests such as mean, SD, frequency, and percentage were employed. Several other statistical tests were utilized, including Fisher's exact test, Chi-squared test, independent
resultsBefore the intervention, there were no significant differences in medication error occurrence between the intervention and control groups (
conclusionPeer teaching significantly reduced nursing students' medication error occurrence, recommending its adoption as an innovative educational method. It is recommended that the peer method be used to improve the clinical education of nursing students.
