Connecting With Fundamental Mathematical Knowledge Directly: The Organizational Features of Good Mathematical Cognitive Structure.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
This paper reported on the study of a good mathematical cognitive structure (GMCS) based on 43 top university students and 82 concepts of Calculus materials, using the social network analysis method. The results indicated that the GMCS has the following organizational features: (1) The mathematical knowledge (MK) in GMCS interconnected widely, especially in MK with a higher connection tightness; (2) Most connections between MK were direct; (3) MK of the basic and higher inclusive level had a greater impact; and (4) There were multiple MK accumulation points connecting others to form subsets. These new findings enrich the results of previous GMCS studies and promotes further exploration of GMCS. In view of this, teachers should pay closer attention to basic and abstract MK and help their students construct various direct connections of the MK in their mind.
