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

Background: The use of digital media (DM) in physical education (PE) is increasing. However, students' acceptance of DM in PE is unclear. The Organismic Integration Theory as part of the Self-Determination Theory serves as a theoretical framework to discuss students' acceptance. Objective: The study aims are 1) to determine the strength of students' acceptance of DM use, 2) to analyze differences in acceptance of different types of DM use, and 3) to identify predictors of DM acceptance in PE. Methods: A cross-sectional study with 291 German secondary students (female = 153; male = 138; Results: 1) Descriptive analysis of the strength of acceptance showed moderate DM use intention for instruction, feedback, organization, and knowledge transfer as well as high usage intention for entertainment. 2) An analysis of variance indicated significant differences in the acceptance of the different types of DM use ( Conclusion: Overall, students' acceptance of the different types of DM use in PE was moderate. Only entertainment showed a strong acceptance probably due to the students' previous experiences. In line with previous technology acceptance research in educational contexts, usefulness and enjoyment were found to be relevant predictors of DM acceptance. The differences in acceptance of different types of DM use in PE and the relevance of usefulness and enjoyment, should be considered by PE teachers for the successful integration of DM. Future research should investigate differences in DM acceptance in other populations (e.g., primary education), and longitudinal studies are needed to examine causal effects.
