Application of case-based learning combined with three-dimensional image reconstruction technology in clinical teaching of liver ultrasound.
Trial report 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 study explored the effectiveness of case-based learning (CBL) combined with three-dimensional (3D) image reconstruction technology for liver ultrasound training among standardized training residents.
methodsA total of 60 resident physicians receiving standardized training at the Ultrasound Department of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital between December 2020 and December 2023 were enrolled. Following a baseline pre-course assessment, participants were randomly assigned to two groups. The experimental group (n = 30) received instruction using a combination of imaging 3D reconstruction technology and CBL, while the control group (n = 30) received traditional teaching, including instructor-led lectures with PowerPoint, anatomical atlases and routine ultrasound images, as well as hands-on training following standard operational demonstrations. Both groups completed 20 class hours. After completion, their performance was evaluated using objective, standardized practical assessments covering liver ultrasound scanning, segmentation, lesion localization, and qualitative diagnosis. In addition, participants' perceptions and satisfaction were measured using a structured questionnaire with Likert-scale items.
resultsThe experimental group scored significantly higher than the control group in all five aspects of the questionnaire survey (p < 0.05). In addition, the experimental group achieved higher scores in basic liver ultrasound scanning, hepatic segmentation and focal liver lesion localization (all p < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the qualitative diagnosis assessment of liver mass lesions (p > 0.05). DISCUSSION: These findings suggest that integrating CBL with imaging 3D reconstruction technology in liver ultrasound training can effectively enhance the learning outcomes of junior residents. This approach not only improves practical skills but also stimulates intrinsic learning interest, indicating its potential as a promising new teaching model in clinical education.
