Effect of a Clinical Decision Support System on Team-Based Clinical Quiz Performance Among Japanese Medical Students: A Pre-Post Pilot Study.

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: Educational impact of point-of-care clinical decision support system (CDSS) on medical students remains insufficiently studied. Our aim was to evaluate the effect of a CDSS on team-based clinical quiz performance and confidence in using medical information resources. Methods: We conducted a nationwide, online, pre-post quasi-experimental pilot study on November 24, 2024. Eighteen teams of Japanese medical students (team size ranging from one to three members) completed ten multiple-choice questions based on two clinical cases. Teams first answered questions using any resources except UpToDate (Pre phase), then re-answered the same questions using UpToDate only (Post phase) under stricter time constraints. The primary outcome was team-based quiz score. Secondary outcomes were team-based confidence in using UpToDate and other resources. Paired Results: Seventeen teams (43 individuals) were included in the analysis. Mean quiz scores increased from 4.00 (SD 1.70) to 4.76 (SD 2.17) (paired Conclusions: CDSS use may be associated with modest improvements in team-based quiz performance and confidence among medical students in this volunteer-based sample; generalizability to broader populations requires further investigation. Future studies should examine learning outcomes, clinical applicability, and curricular integration.
