Evaluating the Transformative Impact of Online Education on Medical Student Learning Outcomes.
Article in Advances in medical education and practice, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic forced educational institutions worldwide to shift to online learning as a means to continue education during lockdowns and social distancing measures. This study investigates the effectiveness of online learning in comparison to traditional on-campus learning, specifically within the context of medical education. Methods: Two hundred and three first- and second-year medical students at King Saud University participated in this randomized experimental study. The research employed written exams to evaluate learning outcomes, with a focus on the understanding of lecture content. Data analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Studies (SPSS 22). Results: The findings reveal that while online learning attained similar learning outcomes to on-campus learning for content related to the early parts of the lecture, significantly lower outcomes were achieved by the online learners as the lecture progressed. Moreover, a smaller percentage of online students demonstrated a full understanding of the lecture material compared to on-campus students. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the importance of assessing the effectiveness of online learning methods, particularly in medical education, to address students' needs better and improve the quality of online learning systems.
