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

This study examined the impact of AI-supported Chinese language instruction on engagement and self-efficacy among Malaysian university students. A quasi-experimental intervention with two instructional groups, an AI-supported teaching group and a traditional teaching group, was employed using an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design. The three-month intervention involved 100 undergraduate students. Measures of engagement and self-efficacy were collected before and after the intervention to examine changes within and between groups. Mixed-design ANOVA revealed significant Group × Time interaction effects for both engagement (partial
