Determinants of rural middle school students' adoption of AI chatbots for mental health.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Adolescent mental health challenges constitute an important global public health issue. Despite the rapid development of AI technology in various fields, its adoption in rural mental health remains constrained. The purpose of this study is to examine the factors that influence the adoption of AI chatbots for mental health education among rural Chinese secondary school students. Utilizing the UTAUT2 framework, we included Perceived Risk (PR) and Perceived Anthropomorphism (PA) to construct a theoretical model. A questionnaire survey of 317 rural adolescents was conducted, analyzed via SPSS and AMOS. Results showed PE, EE, SI, and PA positively correlated with BI; PR negatively correlated; HM had no effect. Grade level moderated specific paths. The study extends UTAUT2 to marginalized populations, filling a gap in AI-driven rural adolescent mental health interventions.
