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 Compared to traditional LBL, TBL was related to higher theoretical knowledge scores in Chinese neurology education. → Fu Jie 2026
Evidence¶
Fu Jie 2026¶
Fu Jie, Chen Xiu, Li Jinglun, Peng Lilei. (2026). TBL alone or combined with other teaching methods for neurology education in China: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. BMC Medical Education. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12909-026-09468-1
q3 · i3 · quant-synthesis · r3
Meta-analysis of 15 RCTs with 1237 students (619 TBL, 618 LBL) using a random-effects model due to heterogeneity (I2 = 89%). The pooled estimate favored TBL: "SMD = 1.16, 95% CI: 0.77 to 1.54, p < 0.00001".
"The results indicated that compared to traditional LBL, TBL was related to higher theoretical knowledge scores (SMD = 1.16, 95% CI: 0.77 to 1.54, p < 0.00001) (Fig. 3)."
