Cultivating medical humanistic literacy through immersive case-based practical teaching in undergraduate pathophysiology education.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Objectives: Building on the pathophysiology curriculum, this study aims to explore a novel model for medical humanities education empowered by digital and intelligent technologies. It addresses critical issues, including the lack of humanities-oriented learning contexts and effective pathways for cultivating humanities competence in traditional medical education. Methods: Utilizing a self-developed digital and intelligent case-based practice platform, the research team integrated medical humanities scenarios to construct an immersive case-based practical teaching module for the pathophysiology course. A total of 80 medical students were randomly assigned to the control group adopting the conventional case discussion teaching module or the experimental group adopting the immersive case-based practical teaching module. A multidimensional evaluation was conducted using a medical humanistic literacy scale, analysis of case discussion class recordings, exam scores, and surveys on extracurricular practice activities. Results: The experimental group scored significantly higher than the control group in medical humanistic literacy, correct rates on chapters covered in the case discussions, and enthusiasm for extracurricular medical practice activities. Additionally, the experimental group demonstrated an emotional orientation centered on the "patient." Conclusion: The immersive case-based practical teaching module in pathophysiology effectively fosters medical humanistic literacy and enhances it synergistically with professional learning. This module contributes to the early cultivation of medical humanistic literacy and advances digital and intelligent educational innovation in medical humanities.
