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

Neuroscience education is increasingly important in today's rapidly evolving educational landscape, as understanding the brain's functions and learning processes can significantly enhance teaching practices. Moreover, the rapid evolution of technological equipment in brain studies, combined with the abundance of digitally available data, enables more accurate brain-based analyses in education, offering better insights into optimizing learning outcomes and tailoring teaching methods. However, there remains a lack of clarity regarding which strategies and tools are most effective in supporting teacher Professional Development (PD) in this specialized field. This study is motivated by the need to explore and assess the current strategies, both pedagogical and technological, that shape PD programs for neuroscience educators. Through this review, we aim to map out existing strategies and tools, identify gaps in the literature, and provide insights that can guide the future design and implementation of teacher development programs. The main findings highlight the limited number of specific strategies informing teacher PD programs in neuroscience and the minimal inclusion of technology, particularly neurotechnologies, despite their promised benefits. The increasing accessibility of brain-based data, along with the potential outcomes in personalized education, underscores the necessity for developing more neuroscience-driven strategies in teaching practices.
