AI-enabled instructor care and physical fitness performance in police cadets: the mediating roles of emotions, engagement, and recovery.
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
Background: Police training is physically demanding and psychologically stressful, which may undermine training adaptation and physical performance. Artificial intelligence (AI)-supported learning analytics systems have been proposed as scalable tools to support training management, yet empirical evidence remains limited regarding how such systems may operate when embedded in human instructor care practices. Methods: We conducted a quasi-experimental pre-post study among police cadets ( Results: DID estimates indicated a significant net improvement in physical fitness performance in the AI-enabled instructor care condition ( Conclusion: AI-supported instructor care may represent a low-risk and scalable approach to supporting physical training performance in high-stress educational settings. The findings provide quasi-experimental evidence consistent with an intervention effect, while the mediation results should be interpreted as exploratory evidence of associated psychological and recovery-related pathways.
