Escape from traditional learning: A neuroscience escape room activity for neuroscience education.
Article in Journal of undergraduate neuroscience education : JUNE : a publication of FUN, Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This paper provides a step-by-step guide to developing a neuroscience themed escape room. We designed the escape room based on our introductory neuroscience learning outcomes which required students to remember key concepts while working together both as a group and individually to solve six neuroscience-themed challenges. Data include time to escape, as well as the results of a post-event survey that had individual students rate the value of the activity, their own personal effort, and their perceptions of instructor contribution. We found that students enjoyed this activity and that the amount of personal effort put in by the student was correlated with how fast they solved the six challenges in our escape room. We conclude that the escape room is a low cost, high impact event that can motivate student learning of neuroscience and promote retention.
