What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This trial tests whether adding game-like features—such as points, badges, and leaderboards—to an online course for medical teachers improves their teaching confidence and engagement. Medical educators at a university are randomly assigned to either a standard online course or the same course with gamified elements. The study measures changes in teaching self-efficacy, teaching approach, and participation, with a follow-up survey three months later.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Gamified asynchronous faculty development course
What this could lead to
If gamification works, it could make online training more engaging and effective for medical teachers, potentially improving how they teach.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center trial, so results may not apply broadly. The effect of gamification on actual teaching quality is uncertain.
