A quasi-experimental comparison of outcome-based hybrid learning and traditional instruction in environmental health education for preventive medicine undergraduates from Guilin Medical University.

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
Introduction: In the post-pandemic era, online teaching has been widely adopted. Although traditional offline instruction remains essential for mastering medical knowledge, the integration of online and offline modalities under an outcome-based education (OBE) framework has gained an inevitable trend. However, the effectiveness of this hybrid model in environmental health education has not been fully evaluated. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a hybrid teaching model grounded in OBE for the environmental health course. Methods: This study comprised the preventive medicine undergraduates from Guilin Medical University (the Classes of 2017-2020). A quasi-experimental design was employed, with the Class of 2017 serving as the control group (traditional face-to-face instruction) and the Classes of 2018-2020 as the experimental groups (OBE-based hybrid online-offline teaching). Educational efficacy was evaluated by comparing overall final exam scores, specifically analyzing written scores, objective item scores, and subjective item scores across groups. Surveys regarding hybrid teaching satisfaction and related indicators were conducted among the Class of 2018 majoring in preventive medicine. Results: The experimental group achieved markedly higher total scores relative to the control group ( Conclusion: Integrating the OBE philosophy into hybrid online-offline teaching may potentially enhance teaching performance in environmental health course. Future studies could further optimize the design of online resources and the structure of offline interactions within hybrid learning.
