Enhancing anesthesia monitoring training: a SPOC and Gagné's model hybrid personalized by artificial intelligence.
Trial report in BMC medical education, 2026. 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
backgroundHigh-quality training in anesthesia nursing-particularly in intraoperative monitoring-is essential for ensuring patient safety. However, the rapid shift toward online learning after COVID-19 has led to challenges such as reduced interaction, limited personalization, and decreased student engagement. Structured instructional models combined with artificial intelligence (AI)-based personalization may help enhance the effectiveness of online anesthesia education.
methodsThis interventional pre-test-post-test study included 350 undergraduate anesthesia nursing students at Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences. Learning styles were identified using the VARK questionnaire and classified through an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model with 84.7% accuracy. Students were randomly assigned to an intervention group (n = 172) or a control group (n = 168). The intervention group received a Small Private Online Course (SPOC) designed according to Gagné's nine-step instructional model and personalized to individual learning styles. The control group received standard online instruction via Google Meet. Knowledge and skill assessments were administered before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests, independent t-tests, and effect size calculations.
resultsStudents in the intervention group showed significant improvements in knowledge (from 50.28 ± SD to 67.76 ± SD; mean change + 17.48, p < 0.001) and skills (from 54.67 ± SD to 65.33 ± SD; mean change + 10.66, p < 0.001). These gains were significantly greater than those in the control group (knowledge + 2.89, p < 0.001; skills + 4.21, p = 0.014). Effect sizes indicated a strong educational impact. The ANN model demonstrated reliable classification of learning styles, with particularly high accuracy for auditory (85.6%) and kinesthetic (88.1%) learners.
conclusionsA hybrid model integrating SPOC delivery with Gagné's nine instructional steps-enhanced through AI-based learning style personalization-significantly improves anesthesia students' theoretical knowledge and practical monitoring skills. This structured and scalable approach offers a promising framework for designing effective online medical education.
