Enhancing rational prescribing skills in pharmacy students: a blended learning model of flipped classroom and think-pair-share for cardiovascular pharmacology.
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
backgroundThis pilot study evaluated the feasibility and learner acceptance of a blended learning model integrating Flipped Classroom (FC) and Think-Pair-Share (TPS) strategies in a cardiovascular pharmacology course for pharmacy students.
methodsA single-group, post-intervention evaluation was conducted with 62 undergraduate pharmacy students. The intervention featured: pre-class self-study with real prescriptions, interactive lectures, structured TPS activities, and gamified incentives. Evaluation focused on Kirkpatrick's Level 1 (Reaction), using a satisfaction survey to assess student perceptions.
resultsStudent satisfaction was notably high. Most students perceived real prescriptions as highly effective for engagement (93.5%) and learning (90.3%). Peer discussions (74.2%), pre-class preparation (93.5%), and the instructor's explanations (93.6%) were also rated as highly effective. The majority (87.1%) preferred group exams and perceived the method as improving future consultation skills (90.3%).
conclusionThe FC/TPS model, augmented with authentic materials, demonstrated high feasibility and was exceptionally well received by students. These positive perceptions support its implementation in similar contexts and justify further research with controlled designs to measure its impact on objective learning outcomes.
