Service-learning using the BOPPPS model in TCM nursing education: a mixed-methods study.
Article 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
Background: Service-learning is increasingly used in nursing education to connect classroom learning with authentic practice and community engagement. However, evidence on how instructional models can optimize service-learning in nursing education remains limited. This study aimed to examine the educational effects of service-learning using the BOPPPS model in an undergraduate traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) nursing course. Methods: This mixed-methods study included a quasi-experimental quantitative component and a qualitative component using thematic analysis. Ninety-six undergraduate nursing students participated, including 49 in the experimental group and 47 in the control group. The experimental group received service-learning using the BOPPPS model, whereas the control group received conventional teaching. Quantitative outcomes included course scores, service-learning abilities, and course evaluation scores. Qualitative data were collected through final reflective reports and analyzed to explore students' learning experiences. Results: Compared with the control group, the experimental group achieved better academic performance (87.69 ± 5.69 vs. 84.15 ± 8.35, Conclusion: Service-learning using the BOPPPS model may be a valuable teaching approach in TCM nursing education. It may help students connect classroom learning with authentic care needs while fostering practical competence and humanistic awareness.
