Application of problem-based learning and case-based learning in teaching ectopic pregnancy to fifth-year medical students.
Trial report in BMC medical education, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 explored the effectiveness of combining problem-based learning (PBL) and case-based learning (CBL) in the clinical teaching of ectopic pregnancy.
methodsFifth-year students majoring in clinical medicine were recruited from the Department of Gynecology at the Hengyang Central Hospital and Hainan General Hospital between September 2023 and June 2024. The students were randomly assigned to either the combined PBL-CBL or the traditional group. At the end of the class, both groups of students were required to complete a post-class quiz and an anonymous questionnaire.
resultsThe basic knowledge score in the combined PBL-CBL group was significantly higher than that in the traditional group (42.6 ± 3.6 vs 35.0 ± 2.3, p = 0.000). Similarly, the case analysis score was higher in the combined PBL-CBL group than that in the traditional group (37.1 ± 6.2 versus 33.8 ± 5.7, p = 0.013). The scores for learning motivation, understanding, student-teacher interaction, communication skills, clinical thinking skills, self-learning skills, knowledge absorption, and satisfaction with the course in the combined PBL-CBL group were significantly higher than those in the traditional group (p < 0.05). However, the score for the amount of free time consumed by the combined PBL-CBL group was significantly higher than that of the traditional group (p < 0.05).
conclusionThe study suggests that the combined PBL-CBL teaching method might be a promising new mode of gynecological education.
