Narrative synthesis of four RCTs measuring satisfaction. Three studies favouring digital education used lectures or printed resources as controls; the study against interactive small-group learning found no difference. No pooled effect size is printed.

One study, employing interactive small-group learning as a control, reported no difference [35]."
