Subclaims¶

q3 i2 In the subgroup of studies with learning duration of one week or more, GAI-based teaching improved knowledge scores (SMD 0.64, 95% CI 0.09–1.19; p = 0.02), whereas studies under one week showed no benefit. → Li Juan 2025

Predetermined subgroup analysis of knowledge scores by learning duration across the included RCTs. The ≥1 week subgroup showed a pooled effect size of SMD = 0.64 (95% CI 0.09–1.19, p = 0.02), versus −0.34 (95% CI −1.26 to 0.58) for <1 week; subgroup-difference p = 0.07.
