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

Although metacognitive self-regulation strategies (MSRS) have demonstrated robust effects on learning outcomes, their implementation in traditional classrooms often yields inconsistent results due to insufficient motivational support and delayed feedback. This study investigated whether gamification can serve as motivational infrastructure to sustain MSRS implementation in junior high school physics education. A Gamified Interactive E-Book (GIEB) was designed, grounding metacognitive scaffolding (planning-monitoring-reflection) within a gamified environment informed by Self-Determination Theory and Zimmerman's cyclical model of self-regulated learning. Using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design, 60 eighth-grade students in China were assigned to either the GIEB group (
