q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3

Meta-analysis pooling 16 RCTs (n=794) comparing VR teaching with traditional teaching in orthopedic education; random-effects model used due to significant heterogeneity (I2=83%). The pooled result shows "significantly higher knowledge scores" favoring VR; GRADE certainty was rated very low.

"VR teaching demonstrated significantly higher knowledge scores compared to traditional teaching methods (SMD=1.08, 95% Cl 0.71-1.46; P<.001; see Figure 3)."
