Effectiveness of animation as a learning tool in applied medical sciences education: A comparative cross-sectional study among university students.

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
Background & Objectives: This study investigates the effectiveness of animation compared to traditional lecture methods on student performance, cognitive outcomes, and knowledge retention among Applied Medical Sciences University students. Methods: In this cross-sectional comparative study, a total of 110 students from the College of Applied Medical Sciences (CAMS), Imam Abdulrahman bin Faisal University participated in the study conducted between 1 Results: The animation group outperformed the traditional group in overall scores of 72.48±10.13 vs. 61.16±12.30, (p=0.001), and the passing rate scaled were 60% and 80%. Largely significant differences were seen in male students (p=0.002) and fourth-year students (p=0.001) in the animation group. Knowledge and cognitive assessments showed statistically significant gains in the animation group compared to traditional methods (p< 0.05). Conclusion: Animation-based learning significantly enhances student performance, particularly in cognitive tasks, and is especially beneficial for fourth-year students. This highlights the effectiveness of animation as a teaching tool. Incorporating it can enhance learning outcomes and academic success in applied medical sciences education.
