Determinants affecting the medical students adoption of mobile learning: extended UTAUT.
Article in BMC medical education, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThis research investigates the fundamental factors which may stymie or simplify the adoption of m-learning by medical college educators in Sudan. We made use of the Extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use Technology (UTAUT) with COVID-19 fear (CF) and social isolation (SIS) as exogenous components.
objectiveThis research aims to find out factors impacting medical students' behavioural intention to use mobile learning.
methodsData was gathered from 499 undergraduate learners from different universities in Sudan. Partial Least Square (PLS) and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used to examine the data. THE
resultsShowed that expected performance, effort expectancy (EE), social influence (SI), facilitation condition (FC), COVID-19 fear, and social isolation (SIS) are predictors of behavioural intentions (BI). In addition, our findings show that COVID-19 fear and social isolation increase student adoption of mobile learning during the COVID-19 epidemics in developing countries.
conclusionsThe study unveiled that the suggested framework, derived from UTAUT, effectively discerns the factors impacting students' intentions in mobile learning during pandemics. Sudanese medical students' can strategize and execute effective classroom environments based on these findings.
