How to Implement Structured Case-Based Resource Sessions Within the Medical Curriculum.
Article in Advances in medical education and practice, 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
Background: Medical education is shifting from traditional lectures toward active, learner-centered approaches. Although case-based learning (CBL) is widely used, there is limited practical guidance on how to implement structured, scalable Case-Based Resource Sessions (CBRS) as a faculty-guided alternative to both lectures and resource-intensive problem-based learning (PBL). Methods: This paper presents a practical five-step guide for implementing structured CBRS, developed over 5 years of iterative experience in pathology and immunology courses at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine (≈75 students per year). Results: The guide includes: (1) defining learning objectives using Bloom's taxonomy, (2) realistic case selection and development, (3) session structuring with progressive disclosure, (4) skilled facilitation using interactive tools and Socratic questioning, and (5) structured feedback and assessment. Key benefits observed include improved student engagement, knowledge retention, clinical reasoning, and preparation for clinical rotations. Conclusion: CBRS represent a valuable, resource-efficient addition to the medical curriculum. Challenges and best practices for successful implementation are discussed to support educators in adopting this approach.
