Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i3 3D + PBL teaching improved communication ability compared to LBL teaching (SMD = 1.10, 95% CI: 0.70–1.51, P < 0.00001). → Li Ting 2025
Evidence¶
Li Ting 2025¶
Li Ting, Hu Yidan, Song Ruohong, Liu Hangyu, Gao Xin, Wang Fei, Xiao Chengwei, Liu Xilin. (2025). Unveiling the ultimate advantage: a meta-analysis of 3D visualization and problem-based learning in orthopedic education. BMC Medical Education. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12909-025-06654-5
q2 · i3 · quant-synthesis · r2
Meta-analysis of six RCTs (N = 340) with a random-effects model found "3D + PBL teaching improved communication ability compared to LBL teaching". GRADE certainty was very low; high heterogeneity was observed (I2 = 64%).
"The analysis demonstrated that 3D + PBL teaching improved communication ability compared to LBL teaching (SMD = 1.10, 95% CI: 0.70–1.51, P < 0.00001; see Fig. 6)."
