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

Artificial intelligence (AI) has achieved extraordinary progress in recent years, yet this progress reveals a deep educational and epistemic imbalance. Neural architectures have mastered prediction but often obscure the grounds of their outputs. This Perspective argues that knowledge graphs (KGs) are more than a technical advance: they are an intellectual bridge between symbolic and neural paradigms, and a pedagogical opportunity to reform university-level AI curricula. The true frontier of explainable AI is educational, not only technological. By reintroducing symbolic reasoning into advanced AI curricula and professional training, we can prepare students who design, build, deploy, and evaluate AI systems to understand and justify system outputs. The focus is higher education for future developers, deployers, and auditors of AI systems, not general AI literacy for everyday users of AI tools. Through historical analysis, theoretical synthesis, and pedagogical reflection, we show that knowledge graphs are not only computational infrastructures but also catalysts for cognitive transformation in how we teach, learn, and conceptualize intelligence.
