Bingo! Gamifying Pediatric Rheumatology Education One Square at a Time.
Article in Perspectives on medical education, 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
Background: Childhood rheumatic diseases (cRDs) are more prevalent than commonly perceived, yet medical trainees often receive inconsistent exposure to pediatric rheumatology. Many medical schools and residency programs lack affiliated pediatric rheumatologists, contributing to knowledge gaps and delays in diagnosis. With a growing workforce shortage and care disparities, innovative educational approaches are essential. Innovation: We developed an interactive, gamified bingo card to enhance pediatric rheumatology learning. This tool incentivizes engagement through structured clinical exposures, core knowledge tasks, and hands-on activities. Residents achieve "bingo" by completing five consecutive squares, each linked to key learning objectives based on American Board of Pediatrics content specifications and institutional clinical encounter data. Game mechanics-challenge, control, rules/goals, and assessment-promote self-directed learning and accountability. Implementation & Evaluation: Pediatric and medicine-pediatrics residents used the bingo card during a one-week rotation, with faculty validating completed tasks. In the 2023-2024 academic year, 50 interns received the tool, with 74% submitting completed cards. Residents checked off an average of 12 squares per week, with 31% achieving bingo. Post-rotation surveys (44% response rate) indicated the tool prioritized learning and facilitated faculty feedback. Faculty reported improved teaching efficiency by quickly identifying teaching points yet to be covered. Conclusion: Gamification enhances pediatric rheumatology education within limited clinical experiences. This tool fosters engagement, supports knowledge acquisition, and offers a scalable model for specialized graduate medical education. Future adaptations may expand game elements to further increase motivation and peer collaboration.
