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

Technology-enhanced learning (TEL) plays a growing role in medical education, where student engagement with its cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and social dimensions is essential for academic success. This systematic review examined TEL's influence on engagement among medical students. A search of five databases and key journals (2000-Oct 2024) identified 23 eligible empirical studies. Behavioral engagement was supported by social media, video-conferencing, and audience response systems; emotional by virtual simulations and gamified tools; and cognitive by personalized dashboards and multimedia. Some TEL tools enhanced multiple dimensions, promoting immersion and enjoyment. TEL shows clear potential to enhance student engagement. Future research should standardize measures and link engagement to outcomes.
