1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Mobile devices are not only a tool for communication, but also a powerful instrument for the economy, mass communication, and learning. Because the use of mobile devices and the Internet is growing rapidly, these tools are increasingly being utilized in learning and instruction. It is therefore important to investigate how mobile devices can be applied in learning. This article focuses on analyzing the features of mobile learning as well as the barriers and influencing factors of using mobile devices in learning. It pays particular attention to clarifying the factors, techniques, and strategies that enhance learners' experiences in using mobile devices. It reports a systematic review that examined studies published in 2006-2018 containing the keywords "mobile learning" "m-learning", "undergraduate students" and/or "higher education." The results of the review indicated mobile devices can be used as learning tools for tasks such as submitting homework, reflecting on immediate learning experiences, and sharing ideas. Instructors should consider three main components in mobile learning: learners' and instructors' readiness, learning management and supporting systems.
