Development and evaluation of a literature seminar course based on flipped classroom and team-based learning in the graduate nursing curriculum.
Article 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
backgroundDeveloping research competence and self-efficacy is a core goal of graduate nursing education. However, traditional lecture-based instruction often fails to cultivate students’ ability to critically appraise, synthesize, and apply research evidence. This study aimed to design and evaluate a graduate-level literature seminar course based on the flipped classroom (FC) and team-based learning (TBL) pedagogies to enhance the research competence and research self-efficacy of nursing postgraduates.
methodsA quasi-experimental single-group pretest-posttest design was conducted among 124 master’s nursing students at Shanxi Medical University. The course integrated pre-class preparation, in-class collaboration, and post-class reflection across ten thematic units of nursing research. The Nursing Research Competence Self-Evaluation Scale and the Nursing Research Self-Efficacy Scale were administered before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using paired-sample t-tests with SPSS 26.0.
resultsBoth research competence and self-efficacy showed significant improvement after the course (p < 0.001). The most important gains were observed in thesis writing, problem identification, and data processing abilities. Students also demonstrated higher confidence in theoretical research, resource acquisition, and collective research efficacy.
conclusionThe FC-TBL-based literature seminar course effectively enhanced graduate nursing students’ methodological literacy, critical inquiry, and confidence in conducting scholarly research. This learner-centered model provides an innovative and evidence-informed framework for improving research education in postgraduate nursing curricula. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
