Promoting self-regulated learning: using online question bank testing system to improve the efficiency of regular quizzes.
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
backgroundAnatomy is regarded as the basic course of medical science. It has the characteristic of a large number of contents, which makes it difficult for students and requires medical students to develop great self-learning ability. Chinese medical students are typically accustomed to passively receiving knowledge. This study aims to utilize the Wen Juan Xing (WJX) platform for in-class quizzes to explore its impact on the learning outcomes of medical students in anatomy courses and to cultivate their self-directed learning habits.
methodsThe experimental group consisted of 369 undergraduate students from the 2018 cohort of the Clinical Medicine program at Zhongshan School of Medicine, Sun Yat-sen University. The control group comprised 386 students from the 2017 cohort. During the Systematic Anatomy course for the 2018 cohort, five WJX in-class quizzes were conducted, averaging one every 3-4 weeks. The quiz scores contributed to the overall course assessment (accounting for 30%). An online questionnaire survey was administered to all 2018 cohort students enrolled in the Systematic Anatomy course to gather their subjective evaluations of the WJX quizzes.
resultsThe final exam average score of the 2018 cohort (75.79 ± 13.81) was significantly higher than that of the 2017 cohort (67.52 ± 17.15). The passing rate (88%) was also significantly higher than that of the 2017 cohort (74%). Questionnaire results indicated that over 95% of students held a positive attitude towards the WJX quizzes, believing they improved their self-learning abilities. More than 90% of students reported that the quizzes helped them develop more suitable study plans and cultivate better learning habits. Students widely agreed that the WJX quizzes encouraged regular review, reduced end-of-term exam preparation pressure, and enhanced learning motivation.
conclusionWJX in-class quizzes were associated with significantly higher medical students' academic performance in the anatomy course, students perceived that their self-directed learning abilities were enhanced, and fostered the development of effective learning habits.
