Perceived Effectiveness and Student Satisfaction With Microsoft OneNote for Teaching Respiratory Physiology During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Study Using the Students' Evaluation of Educational Quality Questionnaire.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionThe COVID-19 pandemic necessitated an abrupt transition from in-person to online teaching, presenting significant challenges for medical education. While most educators relied on screen-sharing tools, such as Zoom or Google Meet, to present slide-based content (e.g., PowerPoint), the use of Microsoft OneNote as an interactive instructional interface remains underexplored. This study aimed to assess first-year medical students' satisfaction and perceived effectiveness of Microsoft OneNote for teaching respiratory physiology.
methodsA descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences Nagpur (AIIMS Nagpur), Nagpur, India, among first-year Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) students (n = 97) who attended over 90% of synchronous online sessions conducted using Microsoft OneNote alongside video conferencing platforms. A modified version of the validated Students' Evaluation of Educational Quality (SEEQ) questionnaire was used. Data were analyzed using Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS, version 22.0; IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Armonk, NY), applying descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA.
resultsStudents reported high satisfaction in domains such as enthusiasm (mean = 4.61 ± 0.49), individual rapport (mean = 4.46 ± 0.52), and organization (mean = 4.36 ± 0.52). The technology domain scored lower (mean = 3.76 ± 0.47), likely due to connectivity issues. No statistically significant differences in responses were observed across age or gender.
conclusionMicrosoft OneNote was perceived as an effective and engaging instructional tool for remote physiology teaching. Although the study assessed only perceived effectiveness, the results highlight OneNote's utility in enhancing instructional clarity, interaction, and content organization. These findings support further exploration of its integration into routine blended medical education settings.
