A novel extended flipped classroom model helps dental undergraduates grow into dentists.
Article in BMC medical education, 2026. 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
backgroundThe lack of the ability to flexibly and accurately apply theoretical knowledge learned in the classroom to clinical diagnosis and treatment has been one of the biggest barriers preventing dental undergraduates transition into competent dentists. The flipped classroom model and simulation training system supporting self-directed learning have been a significant shift in medical education. Literatures about these topics are abundant, however, there are few practical flipped-classroom models which could help dental undergraduates adapt to the status of dentists quickly. This study proposed a novel extended flipped classroom model (P-I-T-D-S Flipped Classroom Model) assisted by the simulation training system and verified its effectiveness.
methodsThe scores of sophomores majored in the Fundamentals of Stomatology at Air Force Medical University participated in the novel extended flipped classroom model and those participated in the traditional lecture model are compared. Moreover, a total of 39 participants (2023 cohort) were stratified and randomly assigned into a pre-class group and a post-class group to explore better flipped classroom model. We descriptively analysed the quantitative data and thematically analysed the qualitative data.
resultsThe scores of the undergraduates enrolled in the P-I-T-D-S Flipped Classroom Model (2023) are significantly higher than those taught under the Traditional Lecture-Based Model (2022). Notably, the scores in the pre-class group raised significantly higher than those in the post-class group, which might be related to the active learning model. Additionally, the undergraduates in the P-I-T-D-S Flipped Classroom Model showed higher willingness to participate in and satisfaction of the class.
conclusionThe P-I-T-D-S flipped classroom medical education model, through active learning, can effectively stimulate the learning enthusiasm of dental students, thereby improving their learning efficiency of basic dental knowledge and clinical practice ability.
