Metacognitive awareness and confidence as predictors of academic performance in pharmacy students: insights from grade predictions and structural equation modeling.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Pharmacy students often struggle with accurate self-assessment of learning outcomes. Many students overestimate exam performance, reflecting poor metacognitive awareness and overconfidence. This study examined the relationships between metacognitive awareness, self-confidence in grade predictions, and academic performance in pharmacy education, thus addressing how these factors interact without inferring causation. Methods: Pharmacy students ( Results: Despite underperforming on the first exam, students' confidence in their grade predictions remained high. Students with better metacognitive awareness and well-calibrated confidence scored significantly higher on exams ( Discussion: The results indicate that metacognition and confidence are critical for academic performance. These findings suggest that educational programs targeting self-evaluation warrant further investigation.
