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

Self-control is essential for youth navigating today's technological and lifestyle challenges. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers scalable, personalized approaches to improve self-regulation through medical and educational interventions. This pilot research was conducted over a period of five months and structured into two studies, each comprising four phases. The first study included 180 adolescents, divided into two equal samples, to examine whether impulsivity varies according to high school profile. One group was drawn from Grigore Moisil Informatics College (theoretical high school), and the other from the National College of Arts Dinu Lipatti (vocational arts high school). Impulsivity was initially assessed using the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS). Drama students showed significantly higher levels of impulsivity, guiding the development of a targeted AI-driven (neural network-based) self-control intervention. The second study focused on the drama student cohort. Over the course of three months, the group participated in an online, AI-guided self-control education program. BIS was re-administered at the end of the intervention to measure changes. Pre-intervention data confirmed significantly higher impulsivity among drama students. Following the AI-based intervention, the group showed statistically significant improvements in self-control. The findings support the effectiveness of AI tools in fostering self-regulatory skills among adolescents and highlight their potential in health education and mental wellness, especially for anxiety, behavioral issues, and mild depression. The AI-guided, game-based cognitive training significantly reduced impulsivity in drama students, demonstrating its promise as a tool for improving adolescent self-control and psychological resilience.
