Medical students' perceptions of learning modalities: development and psychometric validation of the e-learning and face-to-face learning experience questionnaire.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Amidst the growing demand for effective blended learning, particularly post-COVID-19, understanding the key factors influencing student learning experiences is paramount. This study addresses this need by designing and validating a comprehensive questionnaire (ELFEQ) to assess these factors across both face-to-face (F2F) and e-learning environments in medical education. A quantitative, cross-sectional study was conducted with 298 students from Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (SUMS), Iran. Data were collected using the researcher-developed 27-item ELFEQ questionnaire (rated on a 5-point Likert scale). Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) with Varimax rotation was used for initial factor extraction, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was subsequently performed. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha. Data analysis was performed using SPSS Version 24. The analysis revealed six primary factors influencing student learning experiences, including Peer Interaction, Teacher-Student Interaction, Examination and Assessment methods, Emotional Comfort, Content Quality, and Assignments. The highest factor loading was observed for peer interaction and collaborative learning. The questionnaire accounted for approximately 70% of the ELFEQ construct, with a reliability coefficient of α = 0.933. The Content Validity Index (CVI) was 0.976, and the Content Validity Ratio (CVR) was 0.898. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure yielded a value of 0.920, indicating excellent sampling adequacy, while Bartlett's Test of Sphericity was significant (P < 0.001), confirming the suitability of the data for factor analysis. The findings suggest that effective educational practices must integrate diverse teaching methods and assessment strategies to accommodate various learning styles. Both F2F and online environments offer unique advantages that can be leveraged through a blended approach. The study underscores the importance of creating inclusive and supportive learning environments that prioritize student comfort and engagement, ultimately enhancing educational outcomes.
