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

This contribution introduces 3D object-based card sorting as a novel method for eliciting and analyzing students' multimodal reasoning in chemistry. Building on traditional card sort methodologies, this approach incorporates manipulable molecular models (either physical or virtual) to explore how students reason about spatially complex concepts, such as molecular symmetry. We describe the task design, illustrate its potential through sample student excerpts, and evaluate its methodological integrity using the
