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

Critical thinking disposition (CTD), as a facet of the critical thinking (CT) framework, is regarded as the activation of critical thinking skills (CTS). Although studies regarding gender difference of CTD can be found, there is a scarcity of studies on the relationships among CTD components and their mediating effects concerning gender. Additionally, traditional gender comparison of latent means neglected the influence of scales, which leads to doubt about the results on whether the difference is caused by scales or gender characteristic distinction. Measurement invariance (MI) is suggested to be confirmed before performing comparisons. Previous research has had fewer MI results for CTD inventories. Thus, this study aims to analyze the gender equality of the Employer-Employee-Supported Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory (2ES-CTDI) as well as the moderated mediating effects of gender on the components of CTD among 661 Chinese undergraduates (M
