Applying and validating the METUX model in Chinese higher education: a psychometric assessment of AI-based need satisfaction scales.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 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
As artificial intelligence (AI) technologies become increasingly embedded in higher education, understanding students' psychological experiences with these tools is essential. Drawing on the METUX model (Motivation, Engagement, and Thriving in User Experience), this study validated five Technology-based Experience of Need Satisfaction (TENS) scales (Adoption, Interface, Task, Behavior, and Life) among Chinese university students. In Phase I, 320 students completed the translated TENS scales. Three scales demonstrated acceptable reliability and model fit, while the TENS-Interface and TENS-Task scales showed poor performance, particularly in dimensions that combined positively and negatively worded items. In Phase II, revised versions of these two scales were administered to a new sample (
