Evaluating the Effectiveness and Perception of QR Codes as Teaching-Learning Tools in the Department of Medicine for Phase 3 MBBS Students at a Medical College in Central India.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 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: Quick response (QR) codes are emerging as practical tools to supplement clinical teaching by providing instant access to educational content. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and perception of QR codes as teaching-learning (T-L) tools among Phase 3 MBBS students in the Department of Medicine. Methods: A cross-sectional, mixed-method study was conducted among 100 medical students. QR codes linking to videos, clinical guidelines, and case-based content were placed in ward areas. Effectiveness was assessed using a preintervention and postintervention MCQ test (20 items), while perception was measured using a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire and optional feedback. Statistical analysis included paired t-tests and descriptive statistics. Results: The mean pretest score was 10.63 ± 1.91, which improved significantly to 14.03 ± 2.26 in the post-test ( Conclusion: QR codes are effective, low-cost tools that enhance clinical learning and student engagement. They hold promise for scalable integration into undergraduate medical education, especially in resource-limited settings.
