Most of the studies had higher risk of bias. The pooled SMD for knowledge score and for the classification skill were 1.40 (95%CI: 0.45 –2.35;I2 = 93.1%) and 1.75 (95%CI: 0.94–3.24;I2 = 78.3%) respectively. The pooled OR for the classification skills was 1.75 (95%CI: 0.94–3.24;I2 = 78.3%).Patient or Public ContributionNo patient or public contribution.
