Teaching clinical reasoning skills using an online team-based learning method.
Article in BMC 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
introductionClinical reasoning is a complex skill that requires a healthcare professional to apply clinical judgment, expertise, and reasoning, along with foundational knowledge, to solve complex problems in uncertain situations. This study evaluated the effectiveness of teaching Clinical Reasoning Skills (CRS) through an online Team-Based Learning (TBL) approach, using scores from a Script Concordance Test (SCT) as the main outcome measure. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis quasi-experimental study was carried out at the Orthopedic Department of Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar, Pakistan, from January to June 2021. Postgraduate orthopedic residents (PGRs) meeting the inclusion criteria were selected. The study involved several steps. First, the PGRs prepared for the TBL sessions. Then, students completed 20 SCT items with three questions each (pretest). Due to the coronavirus pandemic, an online TBL session was conducted. Afterwards, students completed another set of 20 SCT items with three questions each (post-test). A paired t-test was used to compare the pre- and post-intervention scores.
resultsThe mean test score of SCT increased from 32.50 (pre-test) to 37.81 after the TBL (P = 0.023). We analyzed the data and divided it into quartiles to identify the upper and lower quartiles. Additionally, performers in the bottom quartile in the pre-test had a mean score of 21.38, which rose to 35.13 (P = 0.027) after the test.
conclusionStudents' responses to SCT were enhanced by teaching via an online TBL approach. Online TBL is an effective method for teaching clinical reasoning skills to postgraduate residents in Orthopedics postgraduate training.
