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

Spatial thinking, in general, and mental rotation, in particular, have seen sustained research attention due to such abilities playing a critical role in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) learning. The recent development of sensor-based approaches to identify, understand, and measure cognition and affect opens up new possibilities to study such topics. We collected galvanic skin response, electroencephalography, screen recording, facial expressions, manual emotion logging, task performance logs (including response times, correctness, and question difficulty), gaze, and self-reports of 38 participants as they solved mental rotation tasks under various conditions, namely, (i) with no time restriction and no feedback, (ii) with no time restriction and with feedback and (iii) with time restriction and with no feedback, respectively. The availability of such a dataset will help researchers in the spatial thinking community to study interesting questions related to strategy selection, flexibility, affective response, and group differences in mental rotation tasks. Furthermore, the learning analytics community could gain valuable insights into how providing feedback might change learning and engagement during such tasks.
