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.
q3 i? Students taught with PBL+LBL scored significantly higher on clinical theory assessments than students taught with LBL alone (RR = 4.84, 95% CI 2.92–6.76, P < .00001). → Liu CX 2020

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3
Meta-analysis of the 20 included RCTs reporting the clinical theory assessment score, analyzed with a random effects model due to high heterogeneity (I2 = 97%). The pooled result favored PBL+LBL: "RR = 4.84, 95% CI: 2.92∼6.76, P < .00001".
"Meta-analysis results showed that the theoretical examination performance of students in PBL + LBL group was significantly better than that in LBL group (RR = 4.84, 95% CI: 2.92∼6.76, P < .00001)"
