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 rapid emergence of generative AI (GenAI) tools, such as ChatGPT, presents transformative potential for higher education (HE) while also raising significant ethical, pedagogical, and policy- related concerns. This systematic and thematic review, based on 46 documents from the Web of Science (WoS), narrows its qualitative analysis to 27 peer-reviewed articles to explore key trends in implementation. Findings highlight GenAI's benefits in improving personalized learning, self-regulated strategies, and adaptive feedback. However, critical issues persist, particularly regarding academic integrity, data privacy, equity, and responsible governance. Core themes include AI literacy, technology acceptance, ethical oversight, and the imperative for culturally responsive integration. The study underscores the need for stakeholder collaboration to ensure the ethical and effective integration of GenAI in education. When applied thoughtfully, GenAI holds significant promise in reshaping educational practices while safeguarding fundamental academic values.
