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

Recently there has been a call to deploy AI technologies in secondary education. An accompanying worry is that if students became overly reliant on LLMs, they would become cognitively deskilled - and this would be an impediment to the growth of their cognitive character. One pedagogical approach aiming to offset this worry consists of teaching students how to critically evaluate the outputs of LLMs while they are using them - the Use-First Critical Thinking approach (UFCT). We argue that UFCT alone cannot assuage this worry insofar as it misses an important, prior step in equipping students with the skills to be aware of, and reflect upon, by what lights decisions whether to delegate tasks to LLMs are appropriate. We propose an alternative pedagogical approach involving film, specifically
