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

The comparison of the effectiveness and fairness between AI-generated and human-designed exam questions in the context of undergraduate dental education is relevant. Therefore, it is of interest to examine the use of AI-generated versus human-designed exam questions in undergraduate dental education. A randomized controlled trial involving 289 students was conducted to compare the effectiveness and fairness of both formats. Results showed no significant difference in overall student performance between the two groups. However, students preferred human-designed questions for their clarity and familiarity. Thus, the role of AI-generated exam questions in undergraduate dental education compared to traditional human-designed questions remains a challenge.
