Effectiveness of case-based lectures in enhancing critical thinking and improving performance in nursing students' physiology education.

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
backgroundCase-based lectures (CBLs) have emerged as a dynamic strategy in nursing education, marrying theoretical physiology concepts with real-world clinical scenarios to foster a deeper understanding. This study aimed to design, implement, and assess the effectiveness of CBLs in promoting both deep understanding and long-term memorization of concepts in comparison with the traditional didactic lectures (TDLs). MATERIALS AND
methodsThis quantitative study, through retrospective analysis of the data, evaluated the academic project "CBL method for teaching respiratory physiology course to female nursing students" at Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University (IAU), Dammam, Saudi Arabia. The project was launched during the second semester of the academic year (February- March 2024) among 100 nursing students divided into two groups: G1 and G2. G1 underwent TDLs, and the same learning topics were delivered to G2 as CBLs. The specific respiratory physiology course details for nurses, including learning objectives, case scenarios, CBLs, and assessment tools were designed and reviewed by four expert respiratory team members. Two different written exams for the two groups (CBLs and TDLs) were conducted; one "immediately after the completion of the course" and other "4 weeks later." Student feedback questionnaire was also introduced at the end of the respiratory module.
resultsThe average exam scores of CBLs group were significantly higher than the TDLs group in both the exams (22.48 vs. 20.23,
conclusionThe study concludes that CBLs help to link theory to practice, promote logical thinking, and enhance "short-term" as well as "long-term" memorization, thereby improving the students' performance in exams to eventually produce competent graduate nurses.
