Digital divide among B40 students in Malaysian higher education institutions.

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
While technological advances have led to digital transformation in many higher education institutions (HEIs), digital divide, especially among students in developing nations, is becoming a growing concern. This study aims to investigate the use of digital technology among B40 students (students from the lower socioeconomic backgrounds) in Malaysian HEIs. Specifically, this study intends to investigate how perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, as well as gratification constructs significantly affect digital usage among B40 students in Malaysian HEIs. This study used the quantitative research method with an online questionnaire which received 511 responses. SPSS was employed for demographic analysis, while Smart PLS software was used for structural model measurements. This study was based on two theories: planned behaviour theory and uses and gratification theory. The results showed that perceived usefulness and subjective norms significantly influenced the digital usage of the B40 students. In addition, all three gratification constructs indicated a positive effect on the students' digital usage.
