q2 · i? · review · r3

Systematic review synthesis of 4 RCTs comparing OCDE with no intervention on knowledge. Three trials showed OCDE significantly more effective with modest effect (RM range 1.11-1.36); one showed no significant difference (RM=0.98).

"Compared with no intervention, OCDE may improve knowledge gain (RM range 1.36-0.98; 4 studies, 401 participants; low grade of evidence)."
