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.
q3 i? Cluster analysis suggests PBL + WeChat, TBL and CBL + WeChat best improve theoretical and practical performance while reducing dissatisfaction; PBL + CBL is most effective for self-learning ability. → Guan Cheng Ye 2025

Cluster analysis (Fig. 6) across theoretical, practical, medical record, autonomous learning and dissatisfaction outcomes; for practical performance the same three methods showed good benefits, while PBL + CBL was most effective for self-learning ability.
"the results of cluster analysis suggest that compared with other teaching methods, PBL + Wechat, TBL and CBL + Wechat are beneficial in improving students' theoretical performance and reducing the number of dissatisfied individuals"
