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

This study explored the effects of metacognitive training on 6-year-old kindergarteners, focusing on (a) enhancing metacognitive monitoring accuracy through feedback, and (b) examining whether children use choice latency as a valid cue for their monitoring judgments (cue utilization). A total of 214 children were assigned to one of three groups: performance feedback, monitoring feedback, and an active control. They completed 12 training sessions and were tested before and after the training with memory learning tasks. Results showed that neither feedback type improved monitoring accuracy. However, choice latency was confirmed as a valid cue that children use in their confidence judgments. Despite repeated feedback, there was no observable integration of this feedback into future monitoring judgments. The study discusses both the theoretical and practical implications of these findings, highlighting the children's cue utilization and suggesting avenues for future research. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11409-025-09422-4.
