Effectiveness and Perception of Flipped Classroom vs. Traditional Teaching Methods among Third Phase MBBS Students at a Medical College in Central India.
Article in Cureus, 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
backgroundThe flipped classroom model is an innovative teaching-learning approach that shifts content delivery outside the classroom and utilizes class time for active, student-centered learning. Evidence regarding its effectiveness in Indian undergraduate medical education remains limited.
objectivesThe objective of the study was to compare the effectiveness of the flipped classroom with traditional teaching methods and to assess students' perceptions of the flipped classroom approach among third-phase MBBS students.
methodsAn educational interventional study was conducted among third-phase MBBS students using flipped classroom and traditional teaching methods. A total of 120 students participated in the study, generating 220 learning observations across two crossover teaching sessions. Knowledge gain was assessed using pre-test and post-test multiple-choice questionnaires. Students' perceptions of the flipped classroom were evaluated using a validated five-point Likert scale questionnaire. Statistical analysis included paired and independent
resultsStudents exposed to the flipped classroom demonstrated significantly greater improvement in post-test scores compared to those taught using traditional methods, with a large effect size. Perception analysis revealed positive student attitudes toward the flipped classroom, particularly with respect to engagement, self-paced learning, and improved conceptual understanding.
conclusionThe flipped classroom approach was more effective than traditional teaching methods in enhancing academic performance and was positively perceived by undergraduate medical students. Its integration into routine medical teaching may improve learning outcomes and support competency-based medical education.
