Subclaims¶

q3 i? EBM demonstrated the most notable effect on practical skill scores versus LBL, with MD = 13.34, 95% CI (7.59, 18.95), P < 0.001. → Li Xiangyu 2024 q3 i? The practical-skill effectiveness ranking placed CBL first, EBM second, and LBL last. → Li Xiangyu 2024 (2)

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Bayesian NMA results section for practical skill scores: the printed mean differences and credible intervals show EBM with the largest effect versus LBL, followed by CBL. Unstandardized mean differences only; no standardized effect size printed.

"In particular, EBM demonstrated the most notable effect [MD = 13.34, 95% CI (7.59,18.95), P < 0.001], followed by the CBL teaching method [MD = 12.90, 95% CI (10.24,15.54), P < 0.01]"

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

SUCRA-based ranking from the Bayesian NMA of practical skill scores across 31 RCTs; Table 2 gives EBM a 55.4% probability of being the best method for practical skills versus CBL's 42.0%. The ranking is a printed ordering, not an effect size.

"The ranking evaluation, detailed in Table 2; Fig. 4 (d), positions the teaching methods as follows: CBL > EBM > PBL > TBL > FCM > CP > LBL."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• CBL is the most effective method overall for both theoretical and practical neurology teaching outcomes, with no evidence of publication bias — reports the opposite
• In Chinese neurology training, CBL, PBL, TBL, FCM and EBM each significantly improve theoretical exam scores compared with lecture-based learning — related
• Subgroup results: CBL ranks best for clinical curricula and across educational backgrounds, while PBL ranks best for basic courses, developing countries, and operational skills — reports the opposite
• Team-based learning outperforms LBL in improving practical test scores of internal medicine residents — reports the opposite
