Breaking the Monologue With Active Learning Using the Think-Pair-Share Strategy: A Cross-Sectional Descriptive Study.
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
Background Modern educational methodologies increasingly focus on collaboration and active learning. Cooperative learning strategies, such as the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) strategy, foster active participation and critical thinking. This study aimed to assess the perceptions of second-year MBBS students regarding the effectiveness of the TPS strategy in learning pharmacology. Methodology The present study was conducted among 100 second-year MBBS students during a pharmacology lecture. The TPS activity was implemented by organizing students into "Think," "Pair," and "Share" phases. Feedback was obtained through a questionnaire. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS version 30 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA), while thematic analysis was performed for qualitative data. Results In total, 93 students provided feedback, with 86% (n = 80) reporting enhanced engagement and enjoyment with the TPS activity, 79% (n = 71) highlighting active participation, and 76% (n = 70) benefiting from increased comprehension of the subject content. Students found the strategy to be more effective than traditional lectures. Conclusions TPS proved to be an effective teaching strategy, increasing student engagement, comprehension, and participation during pharmacology lectures.
