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

purposeThis study examined special education teachers’ (SETs) intentions to support the use of Computerized Cognitive Training (CCT) for children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) in China, framed by the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). As digital transformation reshapes special education, understanding SETs’ acceptance of CCT is critical for its effective implementation.

methodsA survey was conducted with 310 SETs from various regions in China. Participants completed a validated questionnaire measuring attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, behavioral beliefs, and intentions toward CCT use. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and path analysis were used to identify the psychosocial factors influencing SETs’ intentions.

resultsSETs demonstrated generally positive attitudes toward CCT, acknowledging its potential to enhance cognitive abilities in children with NDDs. Subjective norms and perceived behavioral control significantly predicted behavioral intentions, with subjective norms showing a stronger effect. SETs’ knowledge and prior experience with CCT were positively correlated with their attitudes and intentions. Path analysis revealed that subjective norms fully mediated the relationship between perceived behavioral control and behavioral intention, underscoring the central role of social influence.

conclusionThe findings highlight the psychosocial mechanisms shaping SETs’ intentions to adopt CCT in Chinese special education. Although SETs’ experience with CCT remains limited, their favorable attitudes and strong social support suggest high potential for adoption. Interventions that strengthen SETs training and foster supportive institutional environments are essential for promoting effective CCT integration.
