1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: Although the flipped classroom has been increasingly adopted in medical education, evidence regarding its effectiveness remains inconsistent, particularly in Chinese medical education, where related studies remain limited. Therefore, this study aimed to compare academic performance, student satisfaction, and learning perceptions between flipped classroom and traditional lecture-based instruction in a medical histology course among Chinese undergraduate medical students. Methods: In this non-randomized comparative study, two consecutive cohorts of undergraduate medical students received either traditional lectures (2023 cohort, n = 73) or flipped classroom instruction (2024 cohort, n = 75) in the same medical histology course. Final examination scores were compared using the Mann-Whitney Results: Students in the flipped classroom group achieved significantly higher final examination scores than those in the traditional group (76.57 ± 14.24 vs 69.73 ± 15.45, Conclusion: In this cohort of Chinese undergraduate medical students, the flipped classroom was associated with better academic performance, higher student satisfaction, and more positive learning perceptions than traditional lectures.
