Integrating team-based and peer-teaching strategies for standardized dental residency: a path to active learning and professional growth.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundThis study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an integrated Team-Based Learning (TBL) and Peer Teaching (PT) model in enhancing theoretical knowledge, clinical competencies, and engagement among dental residents, offering insights for improving stomatology education.
methodsThis study was conducted at the affiliated stomatology hospital of Guangzhou medical university between 2021 and 2023. The 2021-22 cohort (n = 39) students received a traditional teacher-centered approach, whereas the 2022-23 cohort (n = 43) underwent a combined TBL and PT approach. Following a three-month training period, theoretical exams and OSCE were administered. Student engagement was evaluated using the SCEQ, and satisfaction was assessed through SSS. Data were analyzed using independent t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, and χ² tests, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05.
resultsNo significant baseline differences were observed in demographics. TBL + PT cohort demonstrated significantly higher theoretical test scores and OSCE performance in most assessed skills, including pulpotomy, tooth preparation, incision and suturing, and patient intake. Engagement scores were also significantly higher in the domains of emotional engagement and participation/interaction, and overall student satisfaction improved, particularly regarding teaching quality and student-centric learning methods. Word cloud analyses of student feedback revealed a stronger emphasis on collaboration, participation, and innovation in the TBL + PT cohort compared to the traditional group.
conclusionsIncorporating Team-Based Learning and Peer Teaching into standardized dental residency training markedly enhanced theoretical knowledge, clinical proficiencies, and learner engagement. This instructional strategy improved residents' technical competencies and cultivated stronger team collaboration, communication, and higher satisfaction levels, offering a promising alternative to traditional teaching for residency training in oral medicine.
