Abstract Background Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly embedded Gen-Z, with ChatGPT emerging as an educational tool. Its application has expanded rapidly across disciplines, including medical education, where it is widely used. Robust evidence synthesising its effectiveness in undergraduate medical education is still evolving. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of ChatGPT-assisted teaching compared with traditional educational methods in undergraduate medical students. Materials and Methods A syst…
The gain
A meta-analysis of six randomised trials with 361 undergraduate medical students found ChatGPT-assisted teaching produced assessment scores 6.21 points higher than traditional teaching (95% CI 2.03–10.39).
What this doesn’t fix
Heterogeneity across the six trials was very high (I² = 98%) and potential publication bias was noted, so the authors say results need cautious interpretation.

The review’s own words
ChatGPT-assisted learning was associated with significantly higher assessment scores, with a pooled mean difference of 6.21 points in favour of ChatGPT (95% CI 2.03–10.39, p = 0.004).
Code checks every number above against the review’s text before it is shown. The short labels are an AI model’s reading of that text, so the review’s own sentence sits under each one. A pooled figure is only as strong as the studies behind it. How Truvace uses pooled results

How to check it yourself, without trusting this page
Download any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-2768 and hash its canonical field yourself, for example with shasum -a 256. You should get its content_hash. Each version’s text also ends with prev:and the hash of the version before it (version 1 points to 64 zeros). If anyone had changed a single character of any version after it was saved, those hashes wouldn’t line up.
