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

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into educational settings has the potential to transform learning experiences; however, its adoption among students remains impacted by various factors. The current study assesses the determinant factors that shape students' willingness to adopt AI applications. A quantitative approach was applied, and data were collected from 211 undergraduate students at the University of Ha'il. The data were analysed via structural equation modelling (SEM) with the AMOS software. The results revealed that readiness, interactivity, and ethical awareness significantly affect students' adoption of AI applications, while trust and performance did not have a significant effect. These findings suggest that fostering AI adoption among students requires a holistic approach that addresses students' technical preparedness and considers trust-building and ethical educational usage. The implications of this study are significant for educational institutions such as universities, as well as for policy makers, educators and developers aiming at integrating the AI applications effectively into students' learning and curriculum. University administrators could benefit by developing the necessary infrastructure and training, while educators could leverage these insights in designing AI-supported learning environments. Students would benefit from these improved academic experiences that are tailored to their needs. This research contributes to the growing discourse on AI in education and offers a holistic conceptual framework to maximize its potential.
