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 AND
aimsProblem-based learning (PBL) is an effective teaching strategy that improves students' communication abilities, motivation to learn, and acquisition of knowledge. In Libya, not much research has been done to assess students' perceptions of these methods. The present study aimed to evaluate the perceptions of students at the University of Tripoli Alahlia (UTA) toward PBL sessions and to compare their perceptions among different genders and departments. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study based on a self-administered anonymous online questionnaire was conducted during the period from December 2024 to February 2025 on undergraduate students in different departments at UTA.
resultsA total of 387 students enrolled in the study. Overall, students were positively inclined toward PBL, and the majority of them perceived its benefits in enhancing engagement, understanding, and participation in learning processes. However, serious challenges were identified, particularly in training and clarity of PBL topics, as 43.4% of students disagreed that they were well trained before PBL sessions, and 33.1% disagreed that PBL problems were well presented, with no gender-based variations (
conclusionThe study emphasized the importance of PBL in the educational process, which helped students improve their knowledge and various learning skills. Students and staff training is required before utilizing the PBL as an instructional method. PBL - Problem-Based Learning, UTA - University of Tripoli Alahlia.
