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

Introduction: Creativity is widely acknowledged as an essential competency in art and design education, but approaches for developing it through pedagogical interventions have not been sufficiently explored. This study employed a 16-week self-regulated flipped classroom intervention to examine creativity outcomes, focusing on divergent and convergent thinking. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with art and design students assigned to either an intervention group ( Results: The findings indicated that students in the flipped classroom performed better on divergent thinking (especially on fluency and originality) than those in traditional classrooms. No significant effects were observed for flexibility, elaboration, or convergent thinking. Discussion: These findings suggest that self-regulated flipped learning may be an effective approach for fostering generative aspects of creativity in art and design education. This study contributes to the growing literature by highlighting the role of instructional design in supporting different dimensions of creative development.
