Active Teaching-Learning and Digital Technologies in Undergraduate and Postgraduate Dentistry Courses in Brazil.
Article in European journal of dental education : official journal of the Association for Dental Education in Europe, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionTraditional methods versus active teaching-learning and new technologies have become increasingly important in health education, especially for training healthcare professionals for modern challenges. In dental education, active learning and digital technologies are recognised worldwide, but there is a lack of comprehensive analysis on their implementation in Brazilian undergraduate and postgraduate curricula. MATERIALS AND
methodsData were collected from the official websites of undergraduate and postgraduate dentistry programs in Brazil. Descriptive and statistical analyses were performed using JASP software, with a significance level of p < 0.05. Chi-square, Fisher's exact, and Mann-Whitney tests were applied to evaluate relationships between active methods, digital technologies, and course characteristics.
resultsThe study revealed low formal adoption of active learning methods and digital technologies in dental education. No significant association was found between active learning methods and general course characteristics. However, technology use was significantly associated with active learning methods in postgraduate and undergraduate courses.
conclusionThis study underscores the need for a more structured approach to preparing educators in both undergraduate and postgraduate dentistry programs to integrate active learning methods and digital technologies effectively. A clear framework for educator training is essential to meet modern educational demands and improve the quality of dental education in Brazil.
