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
objectivesThe objectives of the study were to evaluate the efficacy of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) with the Bridge-in, Objective, Pre-assessment, Participatory learning, Post-assessment, and Summary (BOPPPS) PBL-BOPPPS model compared to conventional instruction in endocrinology clinical education, focusing on academic outcomes and learner satisfaction.
methodsThis is a quasi-experimental study and was conducted at the Affiliated Guangdong Second Provincial General Hospital (January 2022-September 2025). A total of 285 students were enrolled (BS Cohort: PBL-BOPPPS, n = 105; TT Cohort: Conventional, n = 180).
resultsThe BS cohort achieved significantly higher median scores across all evaluation components, including written exam (52 vs. 47.5, p < 0.001) and total score (68 vs. 58, p < 0.001). Student satisfaction was also higher in the BS cohort (median 14 vs. 13, p < 0.001). Granular analysis revealed consistently higher satisfaction across all 10 items, with the largest differences in creativity, clinical thinking, interest, and communication skills. Correlation analyses demonstrated significant positive associations between academic performance and satisfaction (r
conclusionThe PBL-BOPPPS model significantly improved academic performance and student satisfaction compared to conventional instruction in endocrinology clinical education. Its structured, interactive design enhanced both cognitive and affective learning outcomes, supporting its adoption in competency-based medical education.
