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

Blended learning is increasingly adopted in higher education, yet its impact on student engagement in Nepal remains underexplored. This study examined how undergraduate business students experience blended learning and its effects on knowledge, engagement, and collaboration.

Quantitative data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and qualitative data were examined through thematic analysis. Findings revealed that students actively engaged in discussion forums, case-based problem solving, group projects, and gamified quizzes, which enhanced critical thinking, teamwork, and comprehension of business concepts. Post-test results indicated significant improvements in knowledge and engagement (
