1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundClinical training is an important aspect of dental education. Nevertheless, the limited time for pediatric dentistry clerkships makes it difficult to fulfill students' demands. This study aims to identify effective strategies to enhance the learning effects of undergraduate students during their clinical clerkship in pediatric dentistry and to evaluate the teaching quality of the BOPPPS model in combination with case-based learning (CBL).

methodsThe BOPPPS model consists of six components, including bridge-in, objective, pre-assessment, participatory learning, post-assessment, and summary. This study involved 74 fourth-year students from the School of Stomatology, Sun Yat-sen University. Participants received the same class contents from the same teaching group. They took patriciate in clinical practice from July to December in 2024. Students were randomly assigned into a control group (n = 37) to have traditional form of teaching (theoretical lectures by teachers and clinical clerkship) or into an experimental group (n = 37) that implemented the BOPPPS model in combination with CBL. The quality of teaching as well as learning effects were evaluated through scores of a post-training theoretical examination and results of a survey questionnaire.

resultsThe experimental group showed significant improvements in clinical critical thinking and knowledge integration capabilities compared to the control group. Additionally, the experimental group reported greater satisfaction with teaching effectiveness and learning outcomes, with statistically significant differences between the groups.

conclusionsThe combination of the BOPPPS model with CBL enhances students' master of knowledge, promotes active learning, and elevates the quality of clinical clerkship education in pediatric dentistry. This innovative method has been proved as an effective teaching approach in the clinical practice of pediatric dentistry.
