Perceptions of medical students in Pakistan, KSA, and the US regarding the significance of case-based learning.
Article in Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis study aims to determine the perceptions of medical students in Pakistan, KSA, and the US regarding the significance of case-based learning (CBL).
methodsFor this cross-sectional study, data were collected by administering an online questionnaire to students in medical schools across Pakistan, KSA, and the US.
resultsA total of 344 medical students participated in this study, the great majority of whom agree that CBL paves the way for developing a sound understanding of the core subject, provides insight into real-life experiences, helps them transform from fact memorisers into problem solvers, and keeps them engaged during sessions, which motivates them to attend more of these. A comparison of respondents from Pakistan and KSA shows that CBL promotes deep learning and fostered their critical thinking; however, there was a difference in perception in some categories, including CBL as a tool used for grasping key concepts (
conclusionOur study shows that the selected cohort of medical students perceive CBL as an effective learning tool, as the majority feel overwhelmingly positive towards it. This study thus proposes the introduction of clinical exposure for medical students early in MBBS programmes, which will help promote collaborative skills and self-directed learning among them.
