Enhancing English reading motivation and performance via the ARCS model: an empirical study using the ARCS motivation scale.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 ARCS motivation model comprises four factors: Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the teaching approach based on this model in English reading for Chinese university students. Two classes of 80 sophomores participated in the experiment, with 40 in the experimental group and 40 in the control group. The experimental group received ARCS-based instruction, while the control group followed the traditional grammar-translation method over a four-month teaching session. A survey, which included the four factors derived from exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, was conducted among 611 university students before and after the experiment to explore the English reading motivation of the two classes of students in four dimensions. Also, the research team administered two English reading tests of the same difficulty level to assess students' reading ability before and after the experiment. The results of the data analysis showed that using an independent-sample
