1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo explore nursing students' experiences with stress in clinical practice and the coping strategies they employ in that context.

methodA qualitative study based on Grounded Theory (GT) from the Corbinian perspective, conducted with 15 undergraduate nursing students at a public university in the Southeast region of Brazil.

resultsFor nursing students, the start of clinical practice was marked by stress, insecurity, and difficulties adapting, influenced by the organization of activities, the relationships established in clinical settings, and the available support. Coping strategies included: 1) individual actions, such as emotional regulation and seeking support; and 2) collective actions, such as peer support and institutional spaces for dialogue.

conclusionStress in clinical practice emerges as a challenging formative experience influenced by individual, relational, and institutional factors. Recognizing these dimensions broadens the possibilities for pedagogical and institutional intervention, contributing to the quality of education in the context of clinical practice and to students' adaptation throughout their nursing education.
