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.
q2 i? VR-based teaching methods were associated with significantly higher clinical understanding ability compared to traditional teaching methods (SMD=1.05, 95% CI 0.62-1.48, P<.001). → Li Ting 2025
q2 i? VR-based teaching methods were associated with significantly higher clinical thinking ability compared to traditional teaching methods (SMD=1.17, 95% CI 0.66-1.68; P<.001). → Li Ting 2025 (2)
Evidence¶

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2
Meta-analysis pooling 10 RCTs (n=368) on integration of theoretical knowledge and clinical practice; random-effects model used due to heterogeneity (I2=71%). GRADE certainty was very low.
"Meta-analysis revealed that VR-based teaching methods were associated with significantly higher clinical understanding ability compared to traditional teaching methods (SMD=1.05, 95% CI 0.62-1.48, P<.001; Figure 6)."

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2
Meta-analysis pooling 5 RCTs (n=182) on analytical reasoning and decision-making in clinical scenarios; random-effects model used (I2=57%). GRADE certainty was very low.
"The meta-analysis demonstrated that VR-based teaching methods were associated with significantly higher clinical thinking ability compared to traditional teaching methods (SMD=1.17, 95% Cl 0.66-1.68; P<.001; see Figure 7)."
