Enhancing cardiopulmonary physiotherapy education with an AI-driven Smart Learning Platform: a quasi-experimental study.
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
objectiveThis study aims to evaluate student acceptance of a Smart Learning Platform (SLP) (based on the Chaoxing Learning System™) to deliver a cardiopulmonary physiotherapy curriculum. The SLP leverages AI-enabled knowledge graphs to facilitate adaptive learning, case-based simulations, and the development of clinical reasoning skills.
methodsA quasi-experimental design was adopted. The SLP was implemented for 89 students in the 2022 cohort (post-reform group), while 90 students in the 2021 cohort (pre-reform group) received conventional teaching. Both groups completed the Student Evaluation of Educational Quality (SEEQ) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test.
resultsThe median scores across all SEEQ domains were similar between the pre- and post-reform groups, indicating comparable student perceptions of core teaching quality. However, the post-reform group reported statistically significant improvements in mean scores in the domains of Learning Value, Group Interaction, and Knowledge Breadth (all P < 0.05). No significant differences were found in the areas of Course Organization and Workload.
conclusionThe SLP demonstrated comparable teaching effectiveness to traditional training while ostensibly enhancing student engagement, perceived learning value, and breadth of knowledge. The SLP represents an acceptable and scalable model for delivering physiotherapy education, particularly when teaching resources are limited.
