If you involve me I learn: responsibility-integrated task-based education (RITBE) model in medical intern training.
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
backgroundTraditional observer-based medical internships can inadequately prepare graduates for independent clinical practice. In departments without resident physicians, the absence of intermediate supervisory layers creates both challenges and unique opportunities for educational innovation. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Responsibility-Integrated Task-Based Education (RITBE) model in enhancing interns' self-reported occupational self-efficacy and professionalism attitudes compared with traditional observer-based training.
methodsA quasi-experimental pretest-posttest study with a non-equivalent control group was conducted at Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University Hospital from July 2024 through July 2025. The intervention group (n = 112) received RITBE featuring primary patient assignments, progressive autonomy, and intensive mentorship guided by a departmental study and learning guide. The control group (n = 75) received traditional observer-based training in General Pediatrics. Primary outcomes included occupational self-efficacy beliefs and professionalism attitudes assessed using validated instruments administered at rotation start and completion.
resultsThe RITBE group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in occupational self-efficacy (mean change + 18.7 vs. +3.2, p < 0.001) and professionalism attitudes (mean change + 14.3 vs. +2.8, p < 0.001) compared with controls. The empathy-humanism subscale showed greater improvement in the RITBE group (Cohen's d = 0.64, 95% CI: 0.32-0.95, p < 0.001), as did the responsibility subscale (Cohen's d = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.35-0.99, p = 0.002). Interest in pediatric hematology-oncology subspecialization was higher in the RITBE group at rotation completion (42.0% vs. 8.0%, OR = 8.31, 95% CI: 3.36-20.54, p < 0.001). No adverse safety events attributable to intern clinical activities were identified through institutional monitoring systems.
conclusionsThe RITBE model was associated with significantly greater improvements in self-reported occupational self-efficacy and professionalism attitudes compared with traditional training. This structured approach offers a potentially viable framework for medical education, particularly in departments without resident physicians, though confirmation in diverse settings is needed.
