Paradigm Shift of Health Professions Education Through Mobile Devices: A Literature Review of Reviews.
Review in Medical science educator, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: The integration of mobile devices has revolutionized various aspects of modern life, including education and healthcare. In the field of health profession education, the adoption of mobile devices has emerged as a transformative force, reshaping the learning landscape for aspiring healthcare professionals. This present review of literature reviews aims to explore the impact of mobile device learning in the health profession domain regarding benefits and limitations. Methodology: This extensive review of literature reviews followed the PRISMA-ScR guidelines (2020). Results: The results of this study indicated that mobile device learning is associated with positive outcomes in health professional education. Findings revealed that mobile devices are effective tools in enhancing knowledge, skills, attitudes, and satisfaction among health profession students and professionals. Mobile devices are advantageous in a number of areas, including research and collaboration, administrative tasks, teaching and learning, financial advantages, and clinical and practical applications. However, the lack of professionalism, breaches of data privacy and security, hardware and software limitations, technical issues, financial limitations, restrictive social and cultural norms, the lack of institutional support, and inadequate training are the limitations associated with mobile device learning. Conclusion: Using mobile devices for academic and clinical learning can bring a variety of advantages. However, due to technological limitations, these devices cannot be the full replacement for traditional education.
