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

Background: Digital-intelligent technologies (DIT), positioned at the convergence of artificial intelligence and digital transformation, have become pivotal to the modernization of physical education (PE). Although widely discussed within the context of Wisdom Education, their specific applications in PE have not been systematically synthesized. This study aimed to systematically review the scope, educational impacts, and implementation challenges of DIT in PE. Methods: A systematic review was conducted on 85 empirical studies published between January 2014 and November 2024. Following PRISMA guidelines, the review examined application scenarios, technological architectures, educational outcomes, and implementation barriers. Results: Digital Intelligent technologies (DIT) have been adopted across all stages of PE, forming a closed-loop system that includes (a) intelligent instructional design, (b) real-time process visualization, and (c) data-driven evaluation and feedback. Key innovations involved adaptive learning platforms, virtual simulation tools, multimodal assessment systems, and health behavior monitoring. Challenges remain in algorithmic accuracy, data privacy, and unequal access to digital resources. Conclusion: Digital-intelligent technologies (DIT) have reshaped physical education by enabling more intelligent, personalized, and data-informed instructional practices. To fully realize their potential, future efforts must prioritize algorithmic advancement, ethical safeguards, and the promotion of digital equity.
