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: The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education offers transformative opportunities to enhance teaching and learning. Among these innovations, Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT hold immense potential for instructional design, personalized learning, and administrative efficiency. However, integrating these tools into resource-constrained settings such as Nigeria presents significant challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, digital inequities, and teacher readiness. Despite the growing research on AI adoption, limited studies focus on developing regions, leaving a critical gap in understanding how educators perceive and adopt these technologies. Methods: We adopted a hybrid approach, combining Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to uncover both linear and nonlinear dynamics influencing behavioral intention (BI) of 260 Nigerian in-service teachers regarding ChatGPT after participating in structured training. Key predictors examined include Perceived Ease of Use (PEU), Perceived Usefulness (PUC), Attitude Towards ChatGPT (ATC), Your Colleagues and Your Use of ChatGPT (YCC), Technology Anxiety (TA), Teachers' Trust in ChatGPT (TTC), and Privacy Issues (PIU). Results: Our PLS-SEM results highlight PUC, TA, YCC, and PEU, in that order of importance, as significant predictors, explaining 15.8% of the variance in BI. Complementing these, ANN analysis identified PEU, ATC, and PUC as the most critical factors, demonstrating substantial predictive accuracy with an RMSE of 0.87. This suggests that while PUC drives adoption, PEU and positive attitudes are foundational in fostering teacher engagement with AI technologies. Conclusion: Our results highlight the need for targeted professional development initiatives to enhance teachers' digital competencies, reduce technology-related anxiety, and build trust in AI tools like ChatGPT. Our study offers actionable insights for policymakers and educational stakeholders, emphasizing the importance of fostering an inclusive and ethical AI ecosystem. We aim to empower teachers and support AI-driven educational transformation in resource-limited environments by addressing contextual barriers.
