The influence of gamification on the teaching assessment of human anatomy.
Article in GMS journal for 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
Anatomy teaching in medical schools has experienced a reduction in teaching hours in recent decades, which has led to the implementation of innovative methodologies, such as gamification and serious games, to improve student learning and motivation. In this study we evaluated the impact of these tools on the final grades of students enrolled in human anatomy I: Locomotor system for four consecutive academic years (2020-2024). Two groups were compared: one with traditional methodology and another that integrated gamification activities, and in which the content, teaching staff and assessment criteria remained unchanged. Students who participated in gamified teaching obtained significantly (p<0.005) better grades than the control group in the four teaching courses studied. However, no significant differences were observed between sexes or between the different academic years. Gamification in higher education, in addition to motivating and energising classes, is an effective and versatile tool for optimising academic performance in the health sciences.
