Problem-based learning in obstetrics and gynecology: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Revista brasileira de ginecologia e obstetricia : revista da Federacao Brasileira das Sociedades de Ginecologia e Obstetricia, 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
Objective: Evaluate the application and effectiveness of the problem-based learning (PBL) teaching model in Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN) undergraduate education. Data sources: A systematic search was performed in five electronic databases (LILACS, PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library) for studies published between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2021. The search strategy used descriptors in English, portuguese, and Spanish based on the PICO framework: "Education, Medical, Undergraduate" (P); "Problem-Based Learning", "Gynecology", and "Obstetrics" (I); no comparator (C); and "Patient Satisfaction" or "Knowledge" (O). Study selection: A total of 24 studies were included. Selection criteria encompassed original articles that evaluated the impact of PBL in OB/GYN undergraduate education, without language restrictions. Data collection: Two independent reviewers extracted data regarding study characteristics, participant profiles, methodology, and outcomes. Discrepancies were resolved by consensus. Data synthesis: Among the included studies,14(58.33) of them coming from Asian, most of them 16(66.66) having been published between the years 2006-2010 and 2016-2021. About 15(62.5) dealt only with students, the majority consisting of surveys/questionnaires 8(30) and non-randomized comparative studies 7(29.16). As for academic performance, 14(58.33) demonstrated that the PBL methodology is superior considering the ability to sediment information, and 8(30) indicated PBL is superior concerning developing clinical reasoning. Regarding student satisfaction, 11(45.83) of the studies indicated a positive experience with the method. Conclusion: The PBL model appears more effective than traditional teaching methods in enhancing clinical competence and student satisfaction in OB/GYN education. However, further well-designed studies are necessary to confirm these findings and guide educational strategies. PROSPERO Registry: CRD42021282337.
