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 i3 Across 14 RCTs (801 SBL vs 793 NSBL subjects), pooled skill test scores favored SBL (SMD = 1.56, 95% CI 1.11–2.01, P < 0.00001, I2 = 93%). → Wu Zeyu 2024

q3 · i3 · quant-synthesis · r3
Meta-analysis of 14 randomized controlled trials reporting post-intervention skill test scores in endocrinology education. Pooled results indicated "the superiority of SBL over NSBL" with SMD = 1.56 (95% CI 1.11–2.01) and very high heterogeneity (I2 = 93%).
"14 studies [15, 16, 19–24, 28–30, 32, 33, 35] reported post-intervention skill test scores (801 subjects in the SBL cohort and 793 subjects in the NSBL cohort), with the pooled results indicating the superiority of SBL over NSBL (SMD = 1.56; 95% CI: 1.11–2.01, P < 0.00001, I2 = 93%)"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Simulation-based learning improves theoretical knowledge scores in endocrinology education compared with non-simulation-based learning — related
- No significant publication bias was detected for the knowledge and skill outcomes — related
- The long-term impact of simulation-based learning on knowledge retention and clinical practice remains uncertain — related
- Post-intervention knowledge and skill scores rise 20–50% over pre-intervention scores in reviewed SBL studies — a broader claim this one bears on
- Non-randomized and pre/post-test studies broadly support simulation training benefits for attitudes, skills, knowledge and behaviors, though subject to natural learning effects — related
