The Impact of Artificial Intelligence-Supported Instruction on Student Learning in STEM: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Journal of Intelligence, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into educational contexts has introduced innovative instructional approaches, particularly within Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education. Although an increasing number of empirical studies have examined AI-supported instruction, existing findings remain heterogeneous, making it difficult to draw firm conclusions about its overall effectiveness. This study aims to systematically synthesize experimental and quasi-experimental research on AI-supported instructional interventions in STEM education, quantify their overall effects on student learning outcomes, and examine potential moderating factors, including educational level, STEM discipline, and intervention duration. A comprehensive systematic literature search was conducted across Web of Science, Scopus, ERIC, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, covering studies published between 2005 and 2025. A total of 35 studies meeting predefined inclusion criteria were included in the meta-analysis. Effect sizes were calculated using Hedges' g, and a Random Effects Model (REM) was employed to account for heterogeneity among studies. Moderator analyses were conducted for educational level, STEM discipline, and intervention duration. Publication bias was assessed using multiple diagnostic methods. The meta-analysis revealed a statistically significant overall positive effect of AI-supported instruction on student learning outcomes in STEM education (g = 0.67, 95% CI [0.49, 0.85],
