Learning management system effectiveness and trainee perceptions.
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
backgroundDespite the increasing integration of digital learning in postgraduate medical education, the utilization of Learning Management Systems (LMS) among Egyptian fellowship trainees remains suboptimal. Limited engagement and unclear perceived value highlight the need for structured training interventions. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of e-learning and the use of the LMS platform in enhancing hybrid training methods for Egyptian fellowship trainees at El-Behera governorate training centers.
methodsA quasi-experimental pre-post interventional study was conducted on 211 newly enrolled Egyptian fellowship trainees at El-Behera training centers between August and December 2024. Participants completed a validated self-administered questionnaire assessing perceptions of e-learning and LMS use. An orientation-based training intervention was delivered, including hands-on LMS navigation and resource utilization. Paired analysis was performed on 111 participants who completed both pre- and post-intervention assessments.
resultsPost-intervention, participants demonstrated significant improvements in perceived institutional support and overall perception of distance learning. Significant positive changes were observed across all LMS domains, including usability, accessibility of resources, perceived impact on clinical development, personalization of learning, and course scheduling (all p < .01). Additionally, the proportion of trainees who believed that LMS facilitates achievement of training requirements increased markedly (61.3% vs. 87.4%). However, no significant changes were observed in engagement levels or perceived effectiveness of distance learning.
conclusionsStructured LMS training significantly improves trainee perceptions and perceived utility of digital learning platforms but has limited impact on engagement and contextual barriers. Institutions should prioritize continuous training, infrastructure development, and interactive LMS design to maximize educational outcomes in hybrid postgraduate training models.
