Equitable Group Work in Undergraduate Biology Courses: Leveraging a Complex Instruction Framework to Identify Pedagogical Strategies.
Article in CBE life sciences 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
Group work is a common and effective strategy for promoting student learning while bridging opportunity gaps in undergraduate science classrooms. Despite documented positive impacts of group work in promoting student success, its efficacy in undergraduate biology classrooms can be enhanced through thoughtful implementation. We suggest that the successful implementation of equitable group work can be achieved by considering the Complex Instruction framework, a pedagogical approach developed specifically to foster equitable learning experiences. In this essay, we address common pedagogical challenges associated with group work and use this framework to discuss strategies for mitigating these challenges in the undergraduate biology classroom. Our hope is the proposed pedagogical approaches outlined in this work can extend to other STEM contexts, thus increasing the positive impact of group work across the undergraduate student population.
