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 i? Theoretical knowledge scores of flipped classroom students were significantly higher than traditional lecture students (SMD = 8.33, 95% CI: 5.91–10.75, P < 0.001). → Sun Xinrui 2025
Evidence¶
Sun Xinrui 2025¶
Sun Xinrui, Yuan Xin, Zhang Linyu, Zhang Yi, Xiao Xue, Liu Hanmin, Ma Fang. (2025). Effectiveness of flipped classrooms in Chinese students of clinical medicine major undergoing clinical practice: a meta-analysis. BMC Medical Education. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12909-025-06737-3
q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3
Meta-analysis of 18 RCTs (1,460 participants) using random effect models due to high heterogeneity (I2 = 98%, P < 0.001). The pooled effect size had "a significant difference between the two groups (SMD = 8.33, 95% CI: 5.91–10.75, P < 0.001)". No standardised effect size interpretation is possible given the extreme value.
"The pooled effect size had a significant difference between the two groups (SMD = 8.33, 95% CI: 5.91–10.75, P < 0.001)."
