Effect of team-based learning on critical thinking: A quasi-experimental study.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Objectives: To determine the effect of Team-based learning (TBL) on the critical thinking of health professions students. Methods: This quasi-experimental study, was done in paramedical and nursing sciences institutes using the convenience sampling technique. Students included were enrolled in the haematology course of paramedic institute from January to December 2020 and adult health course of the nursing institute of Khyber Medical University. Six dimensions of critical thinking (CT) of the students before and after TBL were determined using the critical thinking disposition inventory. Results: The study participants included 89 students, comprising 58 students from the paramedic's institute and 31 from the nursing institute; 67 (75.28%) males and 22 (24.71%) females. The overall pre-test score of CT was 257.46 ± 21.73, and the post-test score was 274.55 ± 19.36, which was statistically significant Conclusion: TBL improves five out of six dimensions of students' critical thinking. Besides its established evidence to increase knowledge, TBL can also be used as a teaching methodology for enhancing students' critical thinking.
