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

The integration of technology in higher education has transformed teaching, turning students into active participants in their learning. Faced with the limitations of conventional methods, the integration of technological and creative methods adapted to current demands is being sought. Proficiency in word processing and spreadsheets is crucial in university education, especially in social sciences and law, where the lack of specialized technical training affects academic performance. This study analyzes the impact of incorporating serious games with technological tools and active teaching methods on students' motivation, engagement and academic performance.
