The role of combined problem-based learning (PBL) and case-based learning (CBL) teaching methodologies in dental education.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundInnovative methods of teaching such as problem-based learning (PBL) and case-based learning (CBL) have shown promising results in academic understanding and application and enable one to manage their patients in a better manner. The study aimed to analyze the role of a combination of PBL and CBL teaching methodologies in a dental teaching institute in India. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis prospective, cross-sectional randomized study comprised 500 students divided into two study groups, each consisting of 250 participants. Students in group A were provided PBL, whereas students in group B were exposed to CBL, followed by which questionnaire was distributed. Responses received were analyzed statistically for significance set at below 0.05.
resultsIn this study, statistical difference in learning methods was observed with organizational capacities, self-process of learning, finding solutions for clinical diagnosis, encouraging self-learning, and developing skills for critical thinking process while comparing the PBL or CBL methodologies.
conclusionAccording to this study's findings, improvement in one's knowledge and clinical skills by a subject is much better when both of these techniques are combined.
