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 i2 Across 17 RCTs (811 SBL vs 830 NSBL subjects), SBL showed a significant advantage in theoretical knowledge (SMD = 1.00, 95% CI 0.68–1.32, P < 0.00001, I2 = 89%). → Wu Zeyu 2024

q3 · i2 · quant-synthesis · r3
Meta-analysis of 17 randomized controlled trials comparing SBL with NSBL in endocrinology education, pooled in Review Manager 5.4. The pooled estimate showed "a significant advantage of SBL over NSBL" with SMD = 1.00 (95% CI 0.68–1.32) and high heterogeneity (I2 = 89%).
"Seventeen studies [14, 16–19, 21–31, 33] reported test scores of theoretical knowledge (811 subjects in the SBL cohort and 830 subjects in the NSBL cohort), demonstrating a significant advantage of SBL over NSBL (SMD = 1.00; 95% CI: 0.68–1.32, P < 0.00001, I2 = 89%)"

Related Claims¶
- Simulation-based learning improves practical skill test scores in endocrinology education compared with non-simulation-based learning — related
- Subgroup factors (study quality, participant status, region, simulation technique) did not explain the heterogeneity in SBL effects — related
- No significant publication bias was detected for the knowledge and skill outcomes — related
- CBL is the highest-ranked strategy for enhancing medical students' theoretical test scores, with CBL, PBL, SBL and FC each significantly outperforming LBL — related
- Simulation-based learning consistently improves nursing students' knowledge and skills acquisition across diverse designs and simulation topics — a broader claim this one bears on
