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

This study examines the implementation of the Student-Centered Active Learning Environment with Upside-down Pedagogies (SCALE-UP) in the first-year Chemistry course sequence for STEM majors at Hampton University, an HBCU. STEM majors at Hampton University must earn a grade of C or higher in all courses; grades below this threshold are designated STEM-FAIL. In Fall 2021, Chemistry 201 students were divided into a control lecture section and two SCALE-UP sections, all of which had identical assessments. Results showed lower STEM-FAIL rates (24% and 25%) in SCALE-UP sections compared to the lecture section (28%). In Spring 2022, both Chemistry 202 sections used SCALE-UP, and despite their differing enrollment sizes, they had identical STEM-FAIL rates (29%). This study revealed that SCALE-UP can be implemented at Hampton University. Additionally, the supportive environment and class sizes of under 60 students may also enhance student success.
