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

As the capacity to monitor and regulate one's own cognitive processes, metacognition is considered pivotal for mathematics learning and the development of higher-order thinking skills. However, research from a person-centered perspective remains limited regarding individual differences in metacognition and their associations with mathematics-related abilities. To address this gap, the present study surveyed 512 high school students and employed Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) to identify three distinct metacognitive profiles: "High metacognition," "Medium metacognition," and "Low metacognition," accounting for 17.96%, 53.52%, and 28.52% of the sample, respectively. The BCH method revealed significant between-profile differences in computational thinking and mathematical modeling competency, with the "High metacognition" group demonstrating the strongest performance. Mediation analysis indicated that computational thinking partially mediated the relationship between metacognitive profiles and mathematical modeling competency, with the effect being most pronounced in the "High metacognition" group. These findings suggest substantial heterogeneity in students' metacognition and highlight the potential relevance of prioritizing metacognitive cultivation in mathematics education. They further suggest that fostering computational thinking may be a productive route to strengthening mathematical modeling competency.
