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 In the pooled analysis of female-only medical college students, TBL significantly increased examination scores in a fixed-effects model (SMD = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.24–0.70, I2 = 9.4%). → Chen Minjian 2018

q3 · i2 · quant-synthesis · r2
Subgroup analysis of 3 female-only medical college (3-year program) studies, motivated by meta-regression identifying gender as a potential heterogeneity source (P = 0.059). The fixed-effects pooled effect was "SMD = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.24–0.70" with I2 = 9.4%.
"There was no heterogeneity in the pooled analysis of the medical college students of only females (I2 = 9.4%, Pheterogeneity = 0.332, Fig. 4, Table 5), in which we also found TBL significantly increased female students’ examination scores in fixed-effects model (SMD = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.24–0.70, I2 = 9.4%, Pheterogeneity = 0.332)"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- TBL benefits pharmacy students in both 4-year university and 3-year college programs, with a larger pooled effect in colleges — related
- In nonrandomized studies of undergraduate (5-year program) students, TBL showed a large positive effect on examination scores with reduced heterogeneity (SMD = 4.39) — related
- TBL significantly increases medical students' theoretical examination scores compared with LBL in Chinese medical education (pooled SMD = 2.46) — a broader claim this one bears on
- The pooled TBL effect on examination scores is robust to leave-one-out sensitivity analysis and model choice, and publication bias was not detected — related
