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

objectiveMedical imaging education faces challenges like learner variability and delayed feedback, hindering efficiency and skill transfer. While AI shows promise, no previous studies have systematically tested multi-layer AI teaching frameworks using dual-level randomized experiments. This study evaluates a cognitive informatics–driven “three-level–four-module” AI teaching paradigm.

methodsSixty postgraduate imaging students participated in a course-level RCT (AI paradigm vs. traditional teaching, 8–12 weeks) and a 2 × 2 factorial experiment to dissect the effects of “explainable guidance” and “adaptive scheduling.” Data were analyzed using linear mixed-effects models and DeLong tests.

resultsThe AI paradigm significantly improved diagnostic performance (AUC: β = 0.072, P < 0.001; accuracy: +5.8%, P = 0.004) and reduced cognitive load (NASA-TLX, η²=0.12, P < 0.01). Factorial analysis revealed both components independently increased AUC (Δ ≈ 0.05, P < 0.01) with a positive synergistic interaction (β = 0.021, P = 0.03), and cognitive load reduction was maximal when combined (Δ=–17.6, P = 0.01).

conclusionThe AI-driven paradigm enhances learning effectiveness and reduces cognitive load, addressing a critical gap by providing scalable, evidence for multi-layer AI integration in medical imaging instruction.
