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

Introduction: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into education is rapidly increasing worldwide and governments actively promote teachers' positive attitudes toward AI and its use in instructional practices. Although prior research has highlighted the potential of AI in music education, limited studies have examined the factors influencing pre-service music teachers' intentions to use AI in teaching. Methods: This study employed an online questionnaire based on an extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. A total of 370 pre-service music teachers participated in the survey, and structural equation modeling was used to examine the determinants of their intentions to integrate AI into teaching. Results: The proposed UTAUT model explained 62.4% of the variance in pre-service music teachers' intentions to use AI. The results indicated that social influence, performance expectancy, and effort expectancy positively predicted intentions to use AI, whereas education policy and facilitating conditions had negative direct effects. AI usage habit showed no significant effect. Notably, education policy demonstrated positive indirect effects through effort expectancy and social influence, indicating a dual mechanism of policy influence. Discussion: The findings of this study provide insights into how individual, institutional, and policy-related factors jointly shape pre-service music teachers' intentions to adopt AI in education. This study then discussed implications for AI in music teacher training programs.
