Gamified Learning among Medical Undergraduates using Digital Platforms: A Quasiexperimental Study.
Article in Indian journal of community medicine : official publication of Indian Association of Preventive & Social Medicine. 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
Background: Gamified learning in medical education involves using game elements to improve learning behaviors and outcomes. Digital gamification is underexplored in community medicine. We aimed to assess students' perceptions about gamified learning and their preference for individual or team-based participation, and compare the user experience between different digital platforms. Materials and Methods: We conducted this one-group posttest-only quasiexperimental study at a medical college in North India. We included students of Phase II and Phase III part 1 MBBS who had attended at least one gamified learning session of community medicine during the study period. We utilized six platforms per batch to deliver electronic quizzes for team-based (Classmarker and Nearpod) or individual participation (Formative, Google Forms, Quizizz, and Slido). We sought feedback using semistructured questionnaires. We used Jamovi version 2.3 for descriptive and inferential statistics. We performed manual inductive thematic analysis involving semantic-level coding of complete response units for qualitative data. Results: All 292 respondents (Phase II: 143; Phase III part 1: 149) attended at least three gamified learning sessions. Over 75% of the participants perceived gamification favorably across all parameters. Phase II students showed significantly higher favorability for perceived increase in interest (92.3% vs. 81.9%, Conclusion: Gamified learning is a well-received adjunct to traditional medical pedagogy.
