1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Blended learning (BL) combines both face-to-face learning (FL) and online learning. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of a BL intervention vs. a FL intervention in relation to the knowledge, competencies, satisfaction, perceptions, usability, and BL acceptance of physiotherapy students. Methods: An assessor-blinded randomized trial was performed. A total of 100 students were randomly allocated to either the BL group (BLG, Results: The BLG showed higher scores than the FLG for knowledge ( Conclusion: The BL intervention can be used for improving the knowledge, competencies, perceptions, and satisfaction of the students. In addition, BL acceptance was positive, and usability was found to be acceptable. This study supports the use of BL as a pedagogical approach to foster innovative learning.
