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

Introduction: Self-regulated learning (SRL) is a crucial competency in today's rapidly evolving digital society. Information and communication technologies (ICT) offer unprecedented opportunities to enhance SRL. However, the relationship between ICT use and SRL remains contentious. Understanding how ICT use affects teenagers' SRL through cognitive and social pathways is essential for guiding healthy digital learning habits. This study examined the relationship between ICT use and SRL among teenagers by investigating the chain mediating roles of information retrieval and social interaction, aiming to identify optimal ways for adolescents to benefit from digital learning. Methods: A chain mediating effect were analyzed using a Hong Kong sample taken from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2022 data pertaining to 4,378 15-year-old students from 163 schools. Results: The results indicated that (1) ICT use was positively correlated with SRL (β = 0.28, Discussion: The study contributed to the existing theoretical framework by empirically validating a chain mediation model that integrated cognitive and social dimensions, thereby offering a more comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms through which ICT use influenced SRL. These findings could provide insightful information to the implementation of educational decisions to administer ICT tools to facilitate students' SRL process.
