The Impact of AI on Learners' Self-Efficacy: A Meta-Analysis.
Review in Behavioral sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
With the rise of generative artificial intelligence, the application of AI in learning environments has received widespread attention. Although empirical studies have explored the effect of AI on self-efficacy, the results have not been consistent. This study conducted a meta-analysis on the results from 23 empirical studies on the impact of AI use on self-efficacy. These studies were published between January 2005 and February 2025 and indexed in one or more of the three major educational research databases: Web of Science, Scopus, and ERIC. The results indicated that AI had a significant positive impact on self-efficacy in learning contexts (effect size of 0.758). Specifically, discipline (Q = 10.348,
